Enabling a mobile cloud service: Data-sharing in ad-hoc device-to-device mobile networks
Ranganathan, Kavitha (Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, 2017-03-21)The objective of this work is to build a data-sharing application for an ad-hoc network of mobile devices, where users can exchange data/files among themselves without relying on traditional communication channels like ... -
Enabling grassroots communication: a memory-aided broadcast mechanism for a community radio service on an ad-hoc device-to-device mobile network
Ranganathan, Kavitha; Arora, Sonia (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., 2014)This paper investigates deploying a village level community radio application on an ad hoc network substrate comprising completely of basic mobile phones. We envision a system where any user in the network is equally ... -
Enabling off-the-grid telephony: an adaptive probabilistic model for broadcasting in ad-hoc mobile phone networks
Ranganathan, Kavitha (Elsevier, 2014)Ad-hoc peer-to-peer mobile phone networks (phone-MANETs) can enable village level telephony for cash-strapped, off-the-grid communities in developing regions. Broadcasting is a fundamental operation in such MANETs (Mobile ... -
Encouraging Cooperation in Ad-hoc Mobile Phone Mesh Networks for Rural Connectivity
Ranganathan, Kavitha; Shekhar, Vikramaditya (2011-05-26)This paper proposes a rating based scheme for encouraging user participation in ad-hoc mobile phone mesh networks. These networks are particularly attractive for remote/rural areas in developing countries as they do not ... -
Feasibility of Ad-hoc Peer-to-Peer Mobile Mesh Networks for Rural Connectivity
