This project demonstrates 802.11 ad hoc wireless networking using the N810. The system includes a position estimation service and a stateless geographic forwarding service. The project explored the low-level GPS and networking services available on the phone as well as the effect on battery life when using the 802.11 radio (the radio power save modes were not used). We show that low-level access to the radio is possible and that ad hoc networking is feasible, opening the door to proximity mesh networking on mobile phones.
Code is very rough, a proof of concept, version 0.0.1
