Abstract:
Information exchange between mobile devices grows every day. The communication relies on a network with an access point (Wi-Fi, cellular, etc.) using ad hoc communication because Wi-Fi Direct would avoid this dependence. Currently, Wi-Fi Direct does not support multi-hop communication or moving devices. This work focuses on expanding the use of Wi-Fi Direct technology, so that information sent from a device can walk on the network (multi-hop). We measured the number of exchanged messages by devices using four routing protocols: i) flooding, ii) Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV), iii) AODV-Backup Route (AODV-BR), and iv) Location-Aided Routing (LAR). We see that even with some challenges one can route mobile devices over Wi-Fi Direct.
