Feasibility of geographically static data storage in ad-hoc networks
Gareth Owen, Mo Adda · Kent Academic Repository (University of Kent) · 2005
Ad-hoc networks are a group of computing devices that network together, typically wirelessly, forming a multi-hop network with no fixed infrastructure. As such a network provides no guarantees and a highly dynamic topology, providing service is a difficult and challenging task. This paper will look at the possibility of storing data at or near a geographic point by migrating the data from node to node. We examine the results and then discuss the ideas of using this technique for location based services, mobility prediction and other areas.
