This paper proposes a wireless mesh network implementation consisting of both Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc networks as well as
Bluetooth Piconet/Scatternet networks, organised in an energy and throughput efficient structure. This type of networks
can be easily constructed for Crises management applications, for example in an Earthquake disaster. The motivation of
this research is to form mesh network from the mass availability of WiFi and Bluetooth enabled electronic devices such
as mobile phones and PC's that are normally present in most regions were major crises occurs.
The target of this study is to achieve an effective solution that will enable Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth nodes to seamlessly
configure themselves to act as a bridge between their own network and that of the other network to achieve continuous
routing for our proposed mesh networks.
