'Finding Yourself' Building Location Services in a Peer-to-Peer Wireless World

摘要

There are many problems facing the successful creation of a wireless ubiquitous computing platform. In this paper we outline two pivotal components we have developed, that are needed to build dynamic mobile applications. Firstly we present a Peer-to-Peer algorithm to resolve location ambiguity in heterogeneous ad-hoc wireless networks, interconnected via public radio networks. Secondly we show how by creating an address mapping from public radio networks to Peer-to-Peer middleware we can create a global addressing model for seamless application development.
