Mobile phones are like radios which listen/broadcast on their bands. A mobile phone can connect to a base station and then to another mobile phone. Since the mobile phone has a range of 5 km, I would like to create an app that allows two devices to connect to each other without a base station.
Can anyone provide a reference to a book, online tutorial, website.. anything? Thanks in advance!
In current mobile phones, the radio used to communicate with the phone network is not under the direct control of the main CPU, where your application runs. It is controlled by a separate baseband processor, and the software on this is not typically user-updateable (often, it is not even updateable by the manufacturer of the phone!).
