Design and implementation of an Ad Hoc Network among Android smart devices

Abstract

Ad hoc network provides facilities to access devices in infrastructure less system without centralized approach. Android based smart devices are able to transmit data in ad hoc network of all active devices without centralized approach. In Comparison of Bluetooth devices the Wi-Fi devices are used for faster speed over longer distance. In this era Android convert the simple phone into Smart phone with the capabilities of wireless networking that are typically used with an IEEE 802.11 access point. We can configure the hardware of Android devices into an ad hoc mode. This mode allows Android device to communicate with other device using point to point communication without an access point. The main focus of this paper is to design and implementation an Ad Hoc Network for communication among Android based Wi-Fi devices.
