Abstract
Location-based services can be provided by broadcasting location-based information within wireless network zones. A system for providing location-based services within an ad-hoc wireless network zone can include an information server for providing the location-based services by broadcasting location-based information, where the broadcast location-based information is received by a client wireless device when the client wireless device enters the ad-hoc wireless network zone. Location-based services can be provided within an ad-hoc wireless network zone by broadcasting location-based information regarding the location-based services. The broadcast can be received by a client wireless device within the zone. The client wireless device can display alerts based on the received location-based information.
