A Protocol for Content-Based Communication in Disconnected Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

A Protocol for Content-Based Communication in Disconnected Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

In content-based communication, information flows towards interested hosts rather than towards specifically set destinations. This new style of communication perfectly fits the needs of applications dedicated to information sharing, news distribution, service advertisement and discovery, etc. In thi...
