creator Liu, Kecheng advisor Chen, Yu 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 device s MAC addresses by conducting experim ents using off-the-shelf smartphones.
