On Proximity-Based Information Delivery

Part of the Communications in Computer and Information Science book series (CCIS,volume 919)

Abstract

In this paper, we propose and discuss one approach to a data sharing among mobile subscribers. Our idea is to use the identification of wireless networks to simulate some analogue for a peer-to-peer network that will work in the absence of telecommunications infrastructure. A single mobile phone (smartphone) will be sufficient both for creating a node of such telecommunications network and for publishing (disseminating) information. Our proposal is the further development of ideas related to context-aware systems based on network proximity principles. The proposed model allows mobile users to create information hubs directly at the location of the mobile phone of the publisher, which will distribute information for mobile subscribers in the immediate vicinity of it.
