Counteracting Wireless Congestion in Data Distribution with Adaptive Batching Techniques

The possibility of distributing data to all interested entities connected to a mobile system is a fundamental core function in future mobile ubiquitous class based applications. Unfortunately, its realization poses many problems especially due to the typically scarce resources. With the goal of enhancing scalability, this paper presents a novel data distribution infrastructure for wireless mobile environments. After the introduction of quality-based indicators useful to manage data distribution, we present an adaptive data batching technique that exploits load information to reduce wireless channel congestion. Our results indicate that our data distribution infrastructure scales well also under high loads.
