Experimenting with real-life opportunistic communications using windows mobile devices

Published: 10 December 2007 Publication History

Abstract

Pocket Switched Networks (PSN) is a novel communication paradigm which aims to exploit the opportunistic contacts between mobile devices to exchange data over multiple hops. A key characteristic and enabler of PSN is the human mobility, and consequently the detection of the arising contact opportunities. In this paper we present a prototype implementation of a software to detect contact opportunities and the initial experimental observations.
