Implementation of Ad Hoc network terminal based on embedded ARM platform

Ad Hoc network, which is a peer-to-peer wireless network, plays a very important role in military and sensor networks. Although it has great potential usages, there is not much practical use of Ad Hoc network at present due to various problems in several aspects. A robust convenient mobile device is one of the problems. This paper implements an ad hoc network platform through constructing an embedded ARM hardware platform and transplanting corresponding Ad Hoc protocol onto it. Our tests show that the platform we developed has realized the function of the Ad Hoc network successfully. Finally, we give some performance evaluation of this platform and propose possible solutions to improve it.
