A gateway for wireless broadcasting

Published: 10 December 2007 Publication History

Abstract

Ad-hoc wireless peer-to-peer methods are an important and viable alternative to the more traditional infrastructure based ones for distributing contents among a population of users. The PodNet project is a ongoing effort to create a broadcasting system for delay-tolerant content, in which peer nodes exchange contents opportunistically when within range, and their mobility acts as a complementary mechanism for the dissemination. This paper introduces the design of a Pod-Net node. In particular, the special case of a gateway, which bridges the infrastructure world of the Internet and the ad-hoc domain, is considered.
