Abstract
A system for forming an ad-hoc network among devices includes a wireless device that utilizes one or more connection protocols; a protocol bridging mechanism operating on one or more communication layers selected from the group of: an application layer, a transport layer, a data link layer, a physical layer and a network layer, wherein the one or more connection protocols connects to other wireless devices through the protocol bridging mechanism; and a controller stored within the wireless device. The system further includes a memory including program instructions executable by the controller that cause the controller to connect to the first nearby wireless device through the first communication protocol; connect to the second nearby wireless device through the second communication protocol; and transmit data between the first nearby wireless device and the second nearby wireless device through the protocol bridging mechanism.
