ABSTRACT

When the node density decreases below the level necessary to sustain ad-hoc and mesh networks, communication can only succeed by leveraging node mobility and transitioning to message-based communications. In the 7DS project, we have been investigating how to emulate the two core Internet services, namely web access for information retrieval and email for delivering messages from mobile nodes to the Internet. We are implementing and evaluating a prototype system that leverages search, feedback and propagation limits to build a scalable system that can deliver data to and from mobile nodes.
