The Blue Zone -Mobile Bluetooth Network Expansion

Bluetooth is a widely available technology in today´s mobile phones. It enables devices to communicate wirelessly without being in the line of site of other devices. Regrettably, similar to the majority of the technologies that exists today, Bluetooth has its own shortcoming, it is that it´s limited by range and applicable only between two Bluetooth enabled mobile phones at a time. Based on the current Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing (AODV) protocol used to create ad-hoc networks, and providing some enhancements to it, the Blue Zone application proposes an ad-hoc network solution to overcome the limitations of the mobile Bluetooth technology.
