Effective File Transfer for Opportunistic Networks

چکیده
As the sheer number of potential opportunistic application continues to surge (i.e., wireless sensor networks, underwater sensor networks, pocket switched networks, vehicular networks, and etc.), proper strategies for dealing with communication in various challenged network environments are of significance and remained desirable. In this study, we investigated two applications in opportunistic networks, namely file transfer and video transfer applications. Based on the H-EC approach, we proposed three message scheduling algorithms to effectively transfer data files in challenged networks. Moreover, targeting video file transfers, we designed LMDC (Layered Multiple Description Coding) based techniques that immensely ∗This manuscript has been submitted to IEEE Infocom’07.

A fair peer-assisted unchoking in heterogeneous network-based hybrid file systems
Peer-assisted file sharing in decentralized file systems like BitTorrent have resulted in simultaneous transfer of bulk files amongst large number of hosts in a comparatively lower file transmission time than centralized file systems. This is attributed to the effective management of content distribution by peer selection strategies using choking and unchoking algorithms. Opportunistic unchokin...

Opportunistic networks, which are wireless network ”islands” formed when transient and highly mobile nodes meet for a short period of time, are becoming commonplace as wireless devices become more and more popular. It is thus imperative to develop communication tools and applications that work well in opportunistic networks. In particular, group chat and instant messaging applications are parti...

متن کاملCircus: Opportunistic Block Reordering for Scalable Content Servers
Whole-file transfer is a basic primitive for Internet content dissemination. Content servers are increasingly limited by disk arm movement given the rapid growth in disk density, disk transfer rates, server network bandwidth, and content size. Individual file transfers are sequential, but the block access sequence on a content server is effectively random when many slow clients access large fil...
