Person-level Routing in the Mobile People Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ubiquitous network connectivity for devices does not automatically imply continuous reachability for people. People move from place to place and switch from one network device to another. As a result, phones ring in empty offices, email cannot reach most cell phones, and spam clogs expensive, lowbandwidth links to laptops. Whereas existing mechanisms have addressed host mobility or the mobility of people within one network, few have allowed people , the ultimate and most important endpoints of communication, to roam freely, without being constrained to one location, one application, one device, or one network. We have designed the Mobile People Architecture (MPA) to maintain person-to-person reachability. The central component of MPA is a person-level router called the Personal Proxy. It tracks a mobile person’s location, accepts communications on his behalf, converts them into different application formats according to his preferences, and forwards the resulting communications to him. In contrast to similar systems, the Personal Proxy protects the user’s privacy, is easily extensible to new network devices and applications, and has been deployed with no modifications to the existing network and telecommunications infrastructure. In this paper, we describe the design, implementation, and preliminary evaluation of our prototype Personal Proxy, a service that integrates Internet and telephone communication and addresses the need for person-toperson reachability.

An Efficient Routing Algorithm to Lifetime Expansion in Wireless Sensor Networks
This paper proposes an efficient network architecture to improve energy consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The proposed architecture uses a mobile data collector to a partitioned network. The mobile data collector moves to center of each logical partition after each decision period. The mobile data collector must declare its new location by packet broadcasting to all sensor node...

Background and Objective: Due to the importance of time in choosing the optimal routing to reduce the damage caused by accidents in critical situations such as earthquakes, fires, etc., the structural form of the route has a significant impact on the selection of people in emergencies. It can also be very effective in the work for designers, managers and urban planners for disaster risk managem...
متن کاملEnergy Efficient Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks by Using Honey Bee Mating Optimization
Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANETs) are composed of mobile stations communicating through wireless links, without any fixed backbone support. In these networks, limited power energy supply, and frequent topology changes caused by node mobility, makes their routing a challenging problem. TORA is one of the routing protocols that successfully copes with the nodes’ mobility side effects, but it do...
