An important means to provide connectivity in areas where no access point is directly available is ad hoc networking. However, situations may occur where the connectivity of a set of nodes cannot be guaranteed (if they are too far apart); moreover, no QoS can be offered since the number of hops and the signal quality (thus the throughput) cannot be controlled. Therefore, this paper proposes to deploy a controlled backbone in the ad hoc environment using movable mobile routers.
