Starting with API level 14, ICECREAM
SANDWITH, Android introduced API for peer to peer
communication using Wi-Fi Direct. Since then many
applications have been released that use this technology for data
transfer and communication between two devices. But most of
these have been used for just two-person communication. In this
paper we propose to create a peer to peer network using the same
technology. This paper focuses on creating a local wireless
network of android smartphones using Wi-Fi direct. This paper
also defines an algorithm using which each device can get the IP
address of each of its peer. This paper will also help those who
are trying to create applications on android using Wi-Fi Direct.
