Data collection and processing system of network mobile devices status

This paper presents method for acquisition and processing status data of mobile devices. In this research smartphone, tablet PC, VANET or MANET nodes are regarded as mobile devices. The proposed method utilizes gathering information about state of hardware modules and network around the mobile device. Then the acquired information is processed in order to determine the metrics of mobile device which is a structural element of MANET and VANET, or software update packets distribution network, or user data exchange network. The method is implemented in a form of a client-server application. The goal of the client part is a device data acquisition, i.e. battery charge level, RAM and CPU load, signal level and type of the wireless network in use. The goal of the server part is to receive data about the status of the mobile device and check its validity. After that the acquired data is used to generate the map of signal level distribution and to calculate and send the metrics to the mobile devices.
