Ad hoc Networking

Ad hoc networking is a type of wireless communication where devices connect directly to each other without relying on a centralized infrastructure like routers or access points. Imagine a group of smartphones in a remote area sharing files or internet access by forming a temporary network among themselves. These networks are flexible, quickly forming and dissolving as needed, and are useful in situations like disaster response, gaming, or outdoor activities where traditional network infrastructure isn't available. They enable devices to communicate locally and collaboratively, often dynamically adjusting as the devices move or the network's needs change.
