This paper proposes a data propagation method for improving data availability in ad hoc networks in which nodes are locally distributed. Our method makes use of a special mobile terminal which moves to transfer data items. Moreover, the mobile terminal propagates data items effectively by deciding the moving route considering the length of the route, access requests issued by nodes, and data items held by nodes. Furthermore, we verify the effectiveness of our method by simulation experiments.
