CARTOON - Context Aware RouTing Over Opportunistic Networks

Abstract


In the everyday life of people moving within an urban area, a campus or a building, there are several applications, ranging from ambient intelligence to entertainment, group coordination and information sharing. For these applications the availability of a low cost, scalable meshed radio infrastructure would more efficiently support the interaction with other mobile devices than the classical one hop radio access to global networks. Recent studies on the human mobility and aggregation behaviors, together with in-field experiences, have shown that such an ad hoc infrastructure could be easily deployed by simply enabling vehicles and human-carried radio devices to act as switching nodes of a meshed network, in addition to their ability to provide one hop connectivity to InfoSpots and Access Points. The term Opportunistic networks is often adopted to identify this type of mobile networks that provide short range radio connectivity within a localized area (e.g. a city’s zone, campus or mall).

Opportunistic networks are delay tolerant networks in which nodes establish extemporaneous wireless connections for packet forwarding by exploiting the relay opportunity of another radio device in range. If devices are not available in the neighborhood, the packet is cached locally waiting for a new possibility of forwarding that mobility will eventually offer.

This is an emerging research area and a very >>>

2.1.1 ROUTING OVER OPPORTUNISTIC NETWORKS

Opportunistic networks identify mobile networks that provide ad hoc connectivity through short range radio links within a localized area (e.g. a city’s zone, campus or mall). They are delay tolerant networks in which nodes establish extemporaneous wireless connections for packet forwarding by exploiting the relay opportunity of another radio device in range. If the proper contact is not available, the packet is cached locally waiting for a new possibility of forwarding that mobility will eventually offer.

This is an emerging research area and a very promising technology to support ubiquitous computing. However, to make this happen, a great research effort is still required to design flexible, robust and efficient inter-node communication mechanisms. It is worth to observe that, in an opportunistic environment, mobility dynamics, network partitions and energy constraints impose a departure from a rigid layered architecture and from IP-style communications. Novel architecture and protocols are required to satisfy the requirements of a radically new networking environment. On one hand, flexible routing policies are needed to quickly adapt to the dynamics of the connectivity conditions that alternate highly crowded zones to others where the lack of devices in range leads to network partitions. Protocols must be optimized to ensure the efficient use of constrained >>>

National and international background


CARTOON considers an urban opportunistic environment where vehicles, end-user terminals, personal appliances and pocket devices play a threefold role in a mobile network that provides short range radio connectivity within a localized area (e.g. a city’s neighbor, campus or mall).
They can in fact act as: (i) end system of one-to-one or one-to-many communications, (ii) packet forwarding node, when another device is available in range, (iii) packet carrier, or transporter of cached packets, when the network is partitioned and no neighbor devices are available.

This type of networks is considered to be Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) because, as the consequence of mobility and network partitions, they can introduce long latencies in the delivery of packets and are capable to provide a simple 'eventual delivery' service. The Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) has only recently started to formalize DTNs [C+06]. CARTOON activities are inside this main research stream, although they consider a limited networking framework; in fact, the project focus is centered on mobile networks that provide short range radio connectivity within a localized area such as those considered, for instance, in [C+05,H+05,S+04] or applied in ZebraNet [J+02], where network partitions are frequently experienced, and SPAWN [D+04].

This is a recent research area that is rapidly attracting scientific interests >>>
