HybCAST: Rich Content Dissemination in Hybrid Cellular and 802.11 Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract: We design, implement, and evaluate a middleware system, HybCAST, that leverages a hybrid cellular and ad hoc network to disseminate rich contents from a source to all mobile devices in a predetermined region. HybCAST targets information dissemination over a range of scenarios (e.g., military operations, crisis alerting, and popular sporting events) in which high reliability and low latency are critical and existing fixed infrastructures such as wired networks, 802.11 access points are heavily loaded or partial… Show more

“…medium access and network layers of the ISO stack). More recent efforts aim to use middleware driven approaches to manage communication by exploiting and merging multiple networking technologies such as mesh network deployments, delay tolerant networks, and mobile adhoc networks [36,37,38,39]. The ability to create spontaneous networks where nodes have the ability to make communication decisions locally, using available knowledge of network status and taking into account information needs and tolerance parameters (timing, accuracy, reliability) is critical to enabling communication resilience.…”

“…While the cellular network provides a high reliability because it covers a large area, this approach does not disseminate as fast as expected because the server has to deliver members one by one and the cellular network has low capacity. In our middleware based approach [16], we employ a WiFi ad hoc network interface to augment the cellular network for faster content distribution.…”

“…In this paper, we address the problem of efficient rich content sharing from/to mobile devices by proposing practical approaches that provide high delivery performance, reduce cellular data traffic, and release the pressure of cellular networks' heavy load on mobile users and cellular network services providers. Our approaches [13][14][15][16] all share a common technique: using complementary networks, such as WiFi, WiFi ad hoc or Bluetooth, equipped in most modern mobile devices to offload data traffic previously planned to be transmitted over cellular networks. For each proposed approach, we prove its feasibility by testing it on an Android based testbed and evaluate its performance and scalability using simulations.…”
