Abstract

In this paper we present our work towards deploying a community wireless network with ad hoc communication and routing between its elements. We describe our network model and implementation of wireless routers, while motivating decisions and pointing out open issues. The main advantage of our approach is the low deployment cost and inherent flexibility in terms of adapting the network configuration with little or no human intervention, which in turn can be exploited to support the dynamic addition, removal and mobility of network elements.
