TLDR
The author discusses the application areas where location-dependent multimedia is useful and looks at the infrastructure necessary of location-specific multimedia applications, including location sensors and location service requirements.Abstract:
The ultimate goal of mobile multimedia systems is to assist users all the time and everywhere by providing the right information at the right place in the right manner. With such assistance, users will not have to waste effort in interacting and interfacing with the mobile device, but will be able to dedicate their attention to the actual environment. To provide this assistance, these systems require information about the user's context. One of the most important pieces of context information is the user's location. An efficient location dependent computing system should provide ubiquitous coverage and should be combined with a network infrastructure that provides access anywhere and at any time. The author discusses the application areas where location-dependent multimedia is useful. He looks at the infrastructure necessary of location-specific multimedia applications, including location sensors and location service requirements.read more

GRID: A Fully Location-Aware Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
TL;DR: A new routing protocol called GRID is proposed, which tries to exploit location information in route discovery, packet relay, and route maintenance, and can reduce the probability of route breakage, reduce the number of route discovery packets used, and lengthen routes' lifetime.

Location dependent query processing
TL;DR: This paper gives a formalization of location relatedness in queries and distinguishes location dependence and location awareness and provides thorough examples to support the approach.
The technological trajectory of the automatic identification industry: the application of the systems of innovation (SI) framework for the characterisation and prediction of the auto-ID industry
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the evolution of automatic identification (auto-ID) devices using the Systems of Innovation (SI) framework, including organisational, institutional, economic, regulatory, social and technical dimensions.

Dynamic channel allocation with location awareness for multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks
TL;DR: A new location-aware channel assignment protocol called GRID-B is proposed, which is a sequel of the earlier GRID protocol, and several channel borrowing strategies are proposed to dynamically assign channels to mobile hosts so as to exploit channel reuse and resolve the unbalance of traffic loads among different areas.

Routing based on detected stops
TL;DR: In this paper, a mobile device can transmit traffic information to a server for analysis, including movement information including detected stops and durations of detected stops, and traffic patterns that indicate locations of stop signs and/or stop lights.
