android connection wifi adhoc

I try to create an ad-hoc network between many Android devices, but I can't find documentation to do that.

I thought Wifi direct could work for what I want, but is it possible to have multiple connection on one device ? I saw that we could do a device acting like an access point and communicate with many devices, but can we communicate from one client device to two access point devices ?

I have for example 3 devices: A -> B -> C

The "A" device need to communicate with "C" device but he's too far away, so I want to have ad-hoc wifi direct connection between A&B and ad-hoc wifi direct connection between B&C, so A can communicate with C. It should also work with more than 3 devices.

Thanks !
