Abstract: Ad-hoc social network (ASN) is a location-based network that uses ad-hoc network to connect interested users socially. A n ad-hoc social network is a combination of a social network that maintains the profile and interests of users and an ad-hoc network that helps to connect nearby users without a centralized access point. A survey was conducted to know users’ perceptions and preferences for ASN. This paper presents survey and results for need of ad-hoc social network. Results also indicate that users prefer 75% of average profile similarity to connect nearby users.
