Ad Hoc Wireless LAN
An ad hoc wireless LAN consists of a group of computers, each
equipped with one wireless adapter, connected via radio signals as
an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific ad hoc
wireless LAN must therefore be configured to the same radio
channel.
An ad hoc wireless LAN can be used for a branch office or SOHO
operation.
