Talk:Wireless ad hoc network

message: My dictionary (OEDE) does not hyphenate ad hoc. Does yours?--Adoniscik (talk) 23:35, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Title

message: To quote Peer-to-peer: "Peer-to-peer networks are typically formed dynamically by ad hoc additions of nodes. In an 'ad hoc' network, the removal of nodes has no significant impact on the network. The distributed architecture of an application in a peer-to-peer system provides enhanced scalability and service robustness."
The Peer-to-peer article is quite clearly talking about ACTUAL ad-hoc networks, while Ad hoc network falsely leads to wireless ad hoc networks
If noone shouts STOP - I will change the redirect (again).

thread_title:  Redirect from [Ad hoc network] 

message: What is the difference between the two topics Ad hoc wireless network and Wireless ad hoc network? In my opinion it's just the wording.

replies: text: I think, these should be merged (I do not know which title to use, though). -Yyy (talk) 12:57, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed it is a good idea for these two topics to be merged, to reduce confusion. I suggest leaving “Wireless ad hoc network” and reducing “Ad hoc wireless network” to a reference to the other topic only. --Marius 09:34, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In regard to the merge and "Redirect from Ad hoc network" comments above, I think a merge of both articles to just 'Ad hoc network' without the 'wireless' bit would be consistent with other articles. CJ Drop me a line! • Contribs 14:47, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Ad hoc wireless network]] and [[Wireless ad hoc network]] 

message: 802.11 series of wireless computer network standards specifies ad-hoc mode, where nodes connect to each other, directly. (This mode of operation is unpopular because of many reasons) Article Wireless LAN refers here. This article needs at least a paragraph about ad-hoc mode in 802.11 networks. -Yyy (talk) 12:57, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Was wondering about the technical info behind how Windows 7 manages the sessions in an ad hoc connection. Suppose it's more a networking question, but specific sections on creation of these networks on platforms could be useful. Shaded0 (talk) 19:30, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Info related to Windows 7

message: Both articles claim to be about both topics. There's no clear differentiation between wireless and mobile. ~Kvng (talk) 15:22, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: This confusion exists in the public mind because the corporations hawking unmanaged mobile solutions to the unwashed don't wish to be too precise about what they're delivering in the mobile space. See my vote below. — MaxEnt 19:30, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: For extra clarity, what I was thinking about in the back of my mind was a startup company (probably long since failed) where the idea was to build a radio into the bulbs used in public street lights. This was definitely an "ad hoc" system in that the radios figured out their own topology and coped with variability in available radios and transmission quality all on their own, but it definitely wasn't mobile, and had few of mobile's extra problems. — MaxEnt 19:25, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

text: I actually arrived here trying to figure out AWDL after reading Apple's AWDL Protocol Plagued By Flaws That Enable Tracking and MitM Attacks. This wasn't what caused me write "unmanaged for the unwashed" (comment to first vote). It was merely yet another eye roll as a yet another trillion-dollar-wannabe pawns off egregious wireless engineering in the consumer space. If Apple can't get mobile right, who can? — MaxEnt 19:49, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

text: Support merge per nom, and wonder whether MaxEnt might have adopted the role of the pied piper, wandered into a philosophical quagmire into which we might also sink ... Back to business: terms are superficially synonymous and differences can be discussed on one page. Klbrain (talk) 16:41, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

text: Support merge the articles are overlapping and 'mobile' is a sub topic of wireless. --Kgfleischmann (talk) 18:33, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
