Q: Which aspects of industry standards or protocols are ignored in academic research?

• IEEE 802.11s (Wireless Mesh): At best, highly sparingly considered in either simulation or protocol
• 5G/6G Compatibility: With that said, one can fairly say it lacks greatly when modern MANETs are concerned.
• Routing Standards (RFC 3561/AODV): Research with few studies that used these in their newer versions or compliant ones
• Edge Devices/IoT Hardware: Engagement with hardware limitations does not go far.
• Industry Deployment Studies: Few collaborations engage academia and industry with each other.

These areas often surface in literature mapping service reports and review of literature services for research scholars.

Gap Insight: A severe disconnect exists between theoretical models and standard-compliant deployable systems.
