Original abstract
A communication infrastructure is an important part of any multi-agent system. This paper introduces a movable Wi-Fi mesh network implementation, while keeping in mind that not all devices are Wi-Fi mesh enabled. The main goal was to experimentally compare the implementation to regular Wi-Fi access point application. The results show that it is possible to use such network, while gaining in operational range. Disadvantages were also found, mainly in response time, but connection could still be held. The resulting system enables usage in both centralized and decentralized manner.
