Ad hoc local area network creation
A system and method for managing an ad hoc network are disclosed. A boundary for an area to be monitored is defined for the ad hoc network. A number of devices connect with each other to form the ad hoc network. Devices can enter and leave the network as they come into proximity with one of the members of the network. Data is transmitted between the members of the network. This data can include a carrier rating and a data rating about each member of the network as well as data about other devices that the transmitting device had previously come into contact with. The data held by one member about other members is stored and can later be retrieved.
