and a memory administration unit which is configured to jointly administer the two memory units of the at least two adhoc communications devices using an adhoc communications protocol. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The adhoc communications network as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one memory unit of the at least two adhoc communications devices is configured for communication according to a wireless adhoc communications protocol. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The adhoc communications network as claimed in claim 2, wherein at least one memory unit of the at least two adhoc communications devices is configured for communication according to a close range radio adhoc communications protocol. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The adhoc communications network as claimed in claim 3, wherein at least one memory unit of the at least two adhoc communications devices is configured for communication according to a Bluetooth adhoc communications protocol. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The adhoc communications network as claimed in claim 1, wherein the memory administration unit is configured to select a memory unit from the at least two memory units for storing data which is to be stored, taking into account predefined peripheral conditions. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The adhoc communications network as claimed in claim 5, wherein the predefined peripheral conditions are at least partially formed from the following criteria: Properties of at least one memory unit of the at least two memory units; State of at least one memory unit of the at least two memory units; Condition of the data to be stored; and Requesting of at least one application to at least one memory unit. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The adhoc communications network as claimed in claim 1, wherein the memory administration unit is contained in an adhoc communications device of the at least two adhoc communications devices. ### Claim 8 An adhoc communications network memory administration unit, configured to jointly administer at least two memory units respectively located in the at least two adhoc communications devices. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The adhoc communications network memory administration unit as claimed in claim 8, configured to select a memory unit from the at least two memory units for storing data to be stored, taking into account predefined peripheral conditions. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The adhoc communications network memory administration unit as claimed in claim 9, wherein the predefined peripheral conditions are at least partially formed from the following criteria: Properties of at least one memory unit of the at least two memory units; State of at least one memory unit of the at least two memory units; Condition of the data to be stored; and Requesting of at least one application to at least one memory unit. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The adhoc communications network memory administration unit as claimed in claim 8, wherein the memory administration unit is contained in an adhoc communications device of the at least two adhoc communications devices. ### Claim 12 An adhoc communications device, comprising: at least one memory unit; and an internal memory access control unit configured to control access to the at least one memory unit; wherein the internal memory access control unit is configured to communicate with a memory administration unit using an adhoc communications protocol. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The adhoc communications device as claimed in claim 12, wherein the internal memory access control unit is configured to communicate with an external memory administration unit using an adhoc communications protocol. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The adhoc communications device as claimed in claim 12, configured to communicate according to a wireless adhoc communications protocol. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The adhoc communications device as claimed in claim 14, configured to communicate according to a close range radio adhoc communications protocol. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The adhoc communications device as claimed in claim 15, configured to communicate according to a Bluetooth adhoc communications protocol. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The adhoc communications device as claimed in claim 12, wherein the internal memory access control unit is configured to select a memory unit from the at least one memory unit configured to store data to be stored, taking into account predefined peripheral conditions. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The adhoc communications device as claimed in claim 17, wherein the predefined peripheral conditions are at least partially formed from the following criteria: Properties of the at least one memory unit; State of the at least one memory unit; Condition of the data to be stored; and Requesting of at least one application to at least one memory unit. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The adhoc communications device as claimed in claim 17, wherein the internal memory access control unit is configured to determine the peripheral conditions. ### Claim 20 An adhoc communications device, comprising: at least one memory unit; an internal memory access control unit configured to control access to the at least one memory unit; wherein the internal memory access control unit is configured to operate as a memory administration unit for jointly administering the at least one memory unit and at least one memory unit of another adhoc communications device using an adhoc communications protocol. ### Claim 21 (depends on 20) The adhoc communications device as claimed in claim 20, configured to communicate according to a wireless adhoc communications protocol. ### Claim 22 (depends on 21) The adhoc communications device as claimed in claim 21, configured to communicate according to a close range radio adhoc communications protocol. ### Claim 23 (depends on 22) The adhoc communications device as claimed in claim 22, configured to communicate according to a Bluetooth adhoc communications protocol. ### Claim 24 (depends on 20) The adhoc communications device as claimed in claim 20, wherein the internal memory access control unit is configured to select the at least one memory unit of the adhoc communications device or the at least one memory unit of the other adhoc communications device for storing data to be stored, taking into account the properties of the memory units. ### Claim 25 An adhoc communications device, comprising: at least one memory unit;
