| dc.description | Mobile entities with wireless links are able to form a mobile ad-hoc network. Such an infrastructureless network does not have to be administrated. However, self-organizing principles have to be applied to deal with upcoming problems, e.g. information dissemination. These kinds of problems are not easy to tackle, requiring complex algorithms. Moreover, the usefulness of pure ad-hoc networks is arguably limited. Hence, enthusiasm for mobile ad-hoc networks, which could eliminate the need for any fixed infrastructure, has been damped. The goal is to overcome the limitations of pure ad-hoc networks by augmenting them with instant Internet access, e.g. via integration of UMTS respectively GSM links. However, this raises multiple questions at the technical as well as the organizational level. Motivated by characteristics of small-world networks that describe an efficient network even without central or organized design, this paper proposes to combine mobile ad-hoc networks and infrastructured networks to form hybrid wireless networks. One main objective is to investigate how this approach can reduce the costs of a permanent backbone link and providing in the same way the benefits of useful information from Internet connectivity or service providers. For the purpose of bridging between the different types of networks, an adequate middleware service is the focus of our investigation. This paper shows our first steps forward to this middleware by introducing the Injection Communication paradigm as principal concept. | |
