Mobility Awareness for Information Sharing in MANETs

Abstract : In a Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET), information sharing is usually performed by distributing advertisements and queries. In order not to load environments with unnecessary traffic, an advertisement policy should be designed according to users’ information consumptions and provisions, which are limited by users’ stay-times and their contexts. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to parameterize advertisement policies according to users’ stay-times and contexts.
