In a Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET), information sharing is usually performed by distributing advertisements and queries. In order not to load environments with unnecessary traffic, an advertisement policy should be designed according to users' information consumptions and provisions, which are limited by users' stay-times 1 and their contexts. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to parameterize advertisement policies according to users' staytimes and contexts.
International audienceThe progress in mobile devices and wireless communication technologies magnifies the importance of opportunistic networks like Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs). In MANETs, information sharing is performed by distributing advertisements and queries. In order not to load the environment with unnecessary traffic, file advertisement and query resolution should be performed according to the interests of users. In this paper, we propose algorithms to identify and estimate users’ interests. Experimentations are conducted to evaluate the performanace of the proposed algorithms on a mobile phone and a PC
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
