Patent ID: 8897806

Claim:
A method for dynamic data publication and dissemination in a mobile node network, the method comprising: collecting sensor data; detecting a road event based at least in part on the sensor data; generating event data that describes the road event; converting the event data to a first set of naming data that conforms to a naming structure, the naming structure including an application identifier that identifies an application for the road event and a location that identifies a geographical scope for the road event; caching the first set of naming data in a storage device; publishing the first set of naming data in the mobile node network; receiving a second set of naming data conforming to the naming structure at a first node, the second set of naming data describing an interest packet and including location data for a destination node; determining whether the interest packet is scheduled for transmission at the first node; responsive to determining that the interest packet is scheduled for transmission at the first node, determining a first distance between the destination node and the first node; determining a second distance between the destination node and a second node located within a transmission range of the destination node; determining whether the first distance is greater than the second distance; and responsive to determining that the first distance is greater than the second distance, canceling the transmission of the interest packet at the first node.
