Abstract

• The purpose of this project was to allow users to share images over an ad-hoc network. Android phones currently do not have API support for ad- hoc communication between phones. In this project, rooted Android phones and installed drivers were used that allow users to set up Wi-Fi communication between phones and transfer images. With this Wi-Fi capability, the average user could set up an ad-hoc network and share data with other Android phones using an application downloaded from the Android Market.
