Development of a Mobile Ad-hoc Network using Wi-Fi direct over Android platform.

摘要

The proliferation of smart phones enables ubiquitous Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) where mobile devices communicate with peers over a wireless channel in an ad hoc mode. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to achieve multi-hop communication among open-source, non-rooted Android devices using Wi-Fi Direct Technology (also known as Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer (P2P)). We then implement an MANET with proactive routing using devices MAC addresses by conducting experiments using off-the-shelf smartphones.
