Abstract:
Short-time and short-range device-to-device and device-to-service communication in ad-hoc mobile networks is a challenge. Although Internet access is widely available, there are places that are not covered by wireless IP networks, or IP networks are not suitable for ad-hoc short-time and short-range communication with spatial context. In this work, devices communicate in a connectionless and ad-hoc way by Bluetooth broadcast messaging available in any smartphone and in most embedded computers. Bi-directional connectionless communication is established via parallel advertisement and scanning modes by exchanging data tuples. The communication is performed via a tuple space service on each node. Tuple space access is performed by simple event-based agents. Mobile devices can act as tuple carriers that can carry tuples between different locations. Additionally, UDP-based Intranet communication can be used to access tuple spaces on a larger spatial range. The Bluetooth Low Energy Tuple Space (BeeTS) service enables opportunistic, ad-hoc and loosely coupled device communication with a spatial context.
