SSN: A SEAMLESS SPONTANEOUS NETWORK DESIGN AROUND OPPORTUNISTIC CONTACTS
Keywords:
Delay Tolerant Applications, Spontaneous Networking, Content SharingAbstract
Current mobile computing research has identified great potential of device-to-device local collaborations, e.g., crowd sourcing. The utilization of the free wireless radio channels has also been suggested for the benefit of infrastructure. On the other hand, both high transmission ratio and low security risks are considered fully necessary for mobile platform services. We identified such basic application scenario and system requirements, and present design principle of a device-to-device communication framework named Seamless Spontaneous Networks (SSNs). SSN links the applications layers of separated devices by raising APIs so that SSN could be leveraged for high-level data exchange with regards to privacy control, security and delivery to anonymous endpoints. We implemented SSN on Android-based off-the-shelf smartphones and carried out the assessment and analysis of its performance.
