Paper Abstract:	Many ad-hoc mobile messaging communication devices, like mobile phones and PDAs, are enabled for near field communication by using Bluetooth. Up to now some approaches dealt with the attempt to transfer mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) to the mechanism of the “fixed internet” to mobile networks. In order to achieve liability and robustness of common TCP connections, routing algorithm in near field communication based networks become more sophisticated and complex. These mechanisms often do not reflect the application’s particularities. This approach of an ad-hoc messaging network (AMNET) uses simple store-and-forward message passing to spread data asynchronously. We do not aim at the reliability of common internet networks but focus on application specific needs that can be covered by simple message passing mechanisms. In this paper we will portray a powerful network by using simple devices and communication protocols on the basis of AMNETs. Simulation results of our AMNET approach provide insights into speeding up the network setup process and enable the use of AMNETs even with few participants by introducing a hybrid infrastructure and mobile nodes.
