An ad-hoc wireless network is one in which there are no wired components. The term 'ad-hoc' refers to temporary solutions, so when you transfer a file from a PDA device to a laptop using only wireless connections it is a temporary connection, and also ad-hoc.
An ad-hoc network is completely wireless; there are no wired connections. Therefore, to create one, all devices must have a working wireless connection.
For wireless networks you may connect either as an Ad-Hoc connection or an Infrastructure connection. Ad-Hoc connections are completely wireless, whereas infrastructure wireless connections are a combination of wired and wireless connections.
A wireless sharing connection between computers.
Ad hoc mode is A wireless network is a decentralized wireless network. The network is is call an ad hoc network because each computer forwards data for other computers. Wired networks use routers to perform the task of routing data from on computer to another.
Mobile ad hoc networks refer to the networks that cellphones and other mobile devices are connected to. Laptops and computers may also connect to such networks by means of tethering to a mobile device.
An ad-hoc network is a wireless network in which all connections are wireless. The only devices required are wireless network interface cards in all of the devices that want to participate in the network.
Since the PSP Street has no wireless hardware inside, it is incapable of making ad-hoc connections to other PSP units.
Ad hoc.
peer-to-peer connection
A wireless mesh network is a type of ad hoc network. The difference would be that clients on mesh networks are dedicated to the role of routing by relying on an infrastructure of sorts, while ad hoc clients are generally user to user and not fixed to any kind of infrastructure.
