TLDR
Autoband as discussed by the authors is a distributed networking intelligence that provides a novel architecture capable of dynamically reconfiguring communications pathways consisting of links whose transmission media are opportunistically and dynamically selectable, at least one constituent node in such automatically configurable transient pathways is mobile, for example, information (source) server, intervening router node(s), gateway server and/or client device.Abstract:
Autoband's distributed networking intelligence provides a novel architecture capable of dynamically reconfiguring communications pathways consisting of links whose transmission media are opportunistically and dynamically selectable. At least one constituent node in such automatically configurable transient pathways is mobile, for example, information (source) server, intervening router node(s), gateway server and/or client device. Additionally, Autoband's ad hoc communications pathways may seamlessly and dynamically integrate (i.e., “graft”) into standard fixed node networks such as terrestrial networks, other wireless networks or combinations thereof. These communications may consist of point-to-point or multicast links. An economic market-based approach further assures allocation of available network resources (i.e., bandwidth and processing) needed to achieve the most optimally resource efficient communications pathway configurations for the totality of communications. Consequently, optimal network resource allocation and efficiency at a system-wide level is continuously achieved.read more

Interactive wifi connectivity for moving vehicles
TL;DR: ViFi is developed, a protocol that opportunistically exploits basestation diversity to minimize disruptions and support interactive applications for mobile clients that doubles the number of successful short TCP transfers and doubles the length of disruption-free VoIP sessions compared to an existing WiFi-style handoff protocol.

System and method for location based matching and promotion
TL;DR: In this paper, location-related data and other profile characteristics are used for promotion and for matching of businesses, venues and other entities with user specified criteria, such as location and gender.
Patent
Method and system for generating media recommendations in a distributed environment based on tagging play history information with location information
TL;DR: In this article, a computer-implemented method and system for generating media recommendations in a media recommendation network is presented, where a server receives a plurality of play histories of media items from users of devices, and compares the seed information to the corresponding play histories and generates a list of related media items contained therein.
Patent
Selective communication of targeted information
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a technology by which information (an electronic note from a producer) that is available for delivery to a client consumer is only selectively delivered, based on metadata associated with the information, client identity data and other criteria, including a location of a client device.

Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) Routing
TL;DR: A logging instrument contains a pulsed neutron source and a pair of radiation detectors spaced along the length of the instrument to provide an indication of formation porosity which is substantially independent of the formation salinity.

Adaptive protocols for information dissemination in wireless sensor networks
TL;DR: It is found that the SPIN protocols can deliver 60% more data for a given amount of energy than conventional approaches, and that, in terms of dissemination rate and energy usage, the SPlN protocols perform close to the theoretical optimum.
Patent
System for generation of user profiles for a system for customized electronic identification of desirable objects
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a system that automatically constructs a target profile for each target object in the electronic media based on the frequency with which each word appears in an article relative to its overall frequency of use in all articles, as well as a "target profile interest summary" for each user.
Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET): Routing Protocol Performance Issues and Evaluation Considerations
S. Corson,Joseph P. Macker +1 more
TL;DR: The characteristics of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), and their idiosyncrasies with respect to traditional, hardwired packet networks, are described, with an emphasis on routing performance evaluation considerations.
