Survey on Phoenix: Storage Using an Autonomous Mobile Infrastructure
Prasanna Kumar M · 2014
Distributed computing is a science which solves a large problem by giving small parts of the problem to many computers to solve and then combining the solutions for the parts into a solution for the problem. As the increasing amount of data is collected in mobile wireless networks for emerging pervasive applications, datacentric storage provides energy-efficient data dissemination and organization. One of the approaches in data centric storage is that the nodes that collected data will transfer their data to other neighbouring nodes that store the similar type of data. However, when the nodes are mobile, type-based data distribution alone cannot provide robust data storage and retrieval, since the nodes that store similar types may move far away and cannot be easily reachable in the future. Reliable storage of data with concurrent read/write accesses still appears to be a challenging problem in mobile ad hoc networks.
