effects of power conservation, wireless coverage and cooperation on data dissemination among mobile devices
This paper presents 7DS, a novel peer-to-peer data sharing system. 7DS is an architecture, a set of protocols and an implementation enabling the exchange of data among peers that are not necessarily connected to the Internet. Peers can be either mobile or stationary. It anticipates the information needs of users and fulfills them by searching from information among peers. We evaluate via extensive simulations the effectiveness of our system for data dissemination among mobile devices with a large number of user mobility scenarios. We model several general data dissemination approaches and investigate the effect of the wireless converage range, 7DS, host density, query interval and cooperation strategy among the mobile hosts. Using theory from random walks, random environments and diffusion of controlled processes, we model one of these data dissemination schemes and show that the analysis confirms the simulation results for scheme
