If you want to use Wifi as radio interface you have the option to + setup a client/server infrastructure + or use the IP broadcast address
In a client/server setup the server would be the central component which keeps track of your clients within the wireless LAN. You would have to implement registration/unregistration. Also a mechanism has to be implemented whether clients are still alive. In case of you are using a broadcast IP address, a device could broadcast a "Hello I am alive" message in your wireless LAN. Each device which is listening on the broadcast address would receive the message and would know about the presence of the new device. You could think of to add to this message the local IP address of the device. Other devices could use the IP address for direct communication (of course going over the AP). -- Roman Baumgaertner Sr. SW Engineer-OSDC ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.
