Adaptive geo-fencing with local storage architecture on ad hoc networks

Abstract

Recently, the growth of communication services and technology make networks essential for our daily life, and mobile user terminals such as a smartphone becomes a major communication tool to access the Internet for obtaining information. Moreover, local information services with geo-fencing can provide adaptive information provisioning to users entering specific pre-defined area according to the user location. However, these services are still trapped in the conventional client/server-oriented services, which generally has lower adaptability to the immediate information dissemination such as traffic information on VANET. As concerns this, this paper proposes a novel information localization method for geo-fencing data dissemination with ad hoc communication.
