BUILDING COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST AND SELECTING BORDERS BETWEEN THEM BASED ON RELATIVE MOTION

摘要

Methods and apparatus for dynamically designating communities of interest and selecting border nodes using a relative motion calculus within a mobile network are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a primary node within a mobile network identifies a first subset of nodes and logic that identifies a second subset of nodes. The primary node also identifies a first border node of the first subset, and identifies a second border node of the second subset. The first border node has a first relative motion path over a predetermined time interval, and is associated with a first pairing between the first subset and the second subset. The second border node is associated with the first pairing and has a second relative motion path over the predetermined time interval that is similar to the first relative motion path.
