%X One of the fundamental
properties of an ad hoc network is its connectivity. Maintaining connectivity
in wireless networks is extremely difficult due to dynamic changing topology of
MANETs. There are several techniques to understand the connectivity level for a
given network topology. In this paper, we examine the existing methods and
discuss the issues and challenges that are still insurmountable in order to
enhance the connectivity properties of wireless multi hop networks.
