In this paper, we present a new city-scale decentralized mesh network system suited for disaster recovery and emergencies. When wide-area connectivity is unavailable or significantly degraded, our system, MapMesh, enables static access points and mobile devices equipped with Wi-Fi in a city to route packets via each other for intra-city connectivit...

... implement this idea by creating a rectangle of width í µí±Š between two buildings í µí± 1 and í µí± 2 , as shown in Figure 3. We define this conduit as the region containing all buildings whose centroids are within í µí±Š 2 distance away from the line segment from í µí± 1 's centroid to í µí± 2 's centroid. ...

... not, then we set a waypoint at this turning point, í µí± í µí±– , and repeat the process from this new conduit origin. Figure 3 shows an example. ...
