Systems, methods and computer program products for connecting ad hoc piconets to wide area networks
First Claim
1. An application server comprising:
- an ad hoc piconet interface that is configured to communicate with an ad hoc piconet using ad hoc piconet protocol;
a wide area network interface that is configured to communicate with a wide area network using wide area network protocol; and
a service manifest that is configured to determine first ad hoc piconet services that are available from the ad hoc piconet via the ad hoc piconet interface and to advertise the first ad hoc piconet services to the wide area network as first wide area network services via the wide area network interface and/or to determine second wide area network services that are available from the wide area network via the wide area network interface and to advertise the second wide area network services to the ad hoc piconet as second ad hoc piconet services via the ad hoc piconet interface.

Abstract
A hyper-scatternet includes a first ad hoc piconet, a second ad hoc piconet and a wide area network, wherein the first and second ad hoc piconets are configured to communicate with one another via the wide area network. Each ad hoc piconet can include an application server that includes an ad hoc piconet interface that is configured to communicate with an ad hoc piconet using an ad hoc piconet protocol, and a wide area network interface that is configured to communicate with a wide area network using a wide area network protocol. The application server also includes a service manifest that is configured to determine ad hoc piconet services that are available from the ad hoc piconet via the ad hoc piconet interface, and to advertise the ad hoc piconet services to the wide area network as wide area network services via the wide area network interface.
