Abstract

People get connected with their friends and relatives, at the same time some new friendships and relationships may form in day-to-day life. The same principle gives the basic idea behind developing a Mesh Network. Mesh Network is a complete on-demand and meshed ad-hoc network. Mesh networking provides an innovative method to build complex data networks very easily. Mesh Networking is particularly suited to wireless networks, where the connections can't be predicted in the same way as a wired network, catering for mobile nodes, instant growth and unpredictable variations in reception and coverage. As each mesh node is autonomous, discovering routes on demand, without central control to act as a bottleneck. Routes are established on demand, and un-used routes are flushed out after a short time.  Meshing is a fundamentally different approach to routing through networks, and does not follow the conventions of network design. The node may discover many potential routes through the network, and it will select the most suitable route based upon the shortest distance to reach the other node. In this paper we are discussing the possibilities of meshing in indoor and outdoor environments and locating the mobile user with the help of self designed application and sniffers. We also simulated our work with Pamvotis WLAN simulator.
