Abstract

A large amount of the existing research work that has been carried in mobile networking are mainly based on the assumption that there is an existence of a path between the sender and the receiver. Decentralized mobile systems are however exemplified by network partitions and this has been one of the main driving factors towards the study and implementation of the fully context-aware protocols. This protocol is mainly based on the fact that nodes can be exploited as carrier of messages in the network partitions in order to attain delivery of network components. The nodes in context aware protocol can ...
