The ad hoc networks are completely autonomous wireless networks where all the users are mobile. These networks do not work on any infrastructure and the nodes communicate either directly or via other nodes of the network by establishing routes. In cellular networks, there is sometimes a problem with communication between nodes and Base station due to signal strength when they are highly apart and also due to high structural density. In this aim, we propose a dynamic wireless topology, which will integrate the Cellular system with MANET to enhance the performance of the system. It will decrease the work load on the Base station, as in the recent years the numbers of mobile nodes are increasing. It will help in communicating with the nodes which are receiving low signals from Base station. It will communicate with nearby mobile nodes even without Base station. Thus it will decrease the cost of communication in a single cell. The system will work efficiently and effectively where the RSSI (signal strength) value of the Base Station is not acceptable for communication.
