Introduction
This report is the problem analysis (Undringsdokument) report for INF5261 for the project group ‘Mobile ad-hoc networking and its applications’. Our main objective is to look at the possibilities and limitations of using mobile terminals for ad-hoc networking and to answer the following: What are the useful applications of mobile terminals for ad-hoc networking today and in the future?
The problem analysis
2.1 Introduction
Our initial project vision is to study and provide enablers for mobile ad-hoc network applications. Mobile ad-hoc networks, known as MANETs, represent a great potential for communication, interaction, and collaboration in a world with a rapidly increasing number of mobile (computing) devices everywhere.
Information availability is at times crucial for the operation of certain services, be it in commercial, non-commercial, or community-oriented scenarios.
The problem
We set out to investigate the problem of using ad-hoc mobile networks in different application areas.
It will set out by investigating existing work in this area, and study articles, books, examples, etc. This will establish a foundation for understanding the domain and give a basis for further in-depth studies and selection of an example.
The following questions illuminate the problems we aim to study:
What is ad-hoc mobile networking?
What are the useful applications of mobile terminals for ad-hoc networking today? What applications can we see for the future?
How are mobile terminals used for ad-hoc networking today?
How will it be in the future?
What are the application areas?
o In daily life?
o In professional life?
What are the requirements for ad-hoc networking? Often quick accessibility of information spreading.
What are the challenges of mobile ad-hoc networks in terms of technology and commercialisation? What about social aspects?
Example prototype
Based on the established example, we will design and implement a prototype that illustrates some of the aspects identified with regard to mobile ad-hoc networking.
