The current wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) make ad hoc networking viable for small regions involving a few tens of mobile nodes, but such networks are unreliable. This paper investigates the benefits of adding a few infrastructure nodes to an otherwise ad hoc network. These infrastructure nodes are interconnected among themselves with point-to-point (p2p) links in addition to Wi-Fi capability.
