Abstract

We consider a real-life scenario of people using their smartphones in urban areas. A smartphone can be interpreted as an ad hoc device since it is able to communicate for instance via WiFi Direct or Bluetooth. Smartphones are different as they combine multiple communication modes in one device and hence are also able to use a cellular infrastructure to communicate. In metropolitan areas, the density of smartphones is sufficiently high such that the ad hoc network of smartphones is connected and, in principle, the entire data transmission between smartphones could be solely carried out via ad hoc links. The main challenge of data transmission in an ad hoc network of smartphones is routing. Human made obstacles like buildings interfere wireless communication leading to radio holes in the ad hoc network.
