A wireless ad hoc network is a decentralized type of wireless network that does not rely on a pre existing infrastructure such as a router in wired networks or access point instead each node participates in routing by forwarding data for other nodes so basically a wireless ad hoc network refers to a network where all devices have equal status on a network and are free to associate with any other ad hoc network device in link range, it uses the principle of peer to peer networking within a short distance
