Implementation of a cellular framework for spontaneous network establishment

Wireless communication technologies enabled the possibility of building spontaneous networks between two or more users to exchange data. The problem in the establishment of such networks lies in the configuration that has to be agreed on and in the way the communicating parties can be identified. In prior publications we have presented our vision of convenient networking in a heterogeneous environment. In this paper, we describe an implementation that offers a dashboard-like tool, which can, with the help of a cellular network, ease the formation of spontaneous networks among heterogeneous nodes. Furthermore, the provided implementation is able to secure the acquired communication links in the spontaneous network and therefore protect the exchanged information against possible abuse.
