Hi,
Is it possible to use Lime in an adhoc network, say like clusters of handheld devices. What I am really intersted in knowing is the possibility of two distant devices (out of range) to communicate through intermediary nodes?
Thanks
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Lime itself does not do any form of ad hoc routing. It assumes that you have a routing layer in place that does two things:
1. point to point communication
2. multicast support
If your cluster of handhelds has an ad hor routing stack, then Lime should work. Keep in mind, however, that the current instantiation of Lime either assumes that you declare when a node is within range and when it is going out of range, or it requires you to use GPS to allow it to make this determination.
Another option for you to consider is Limone, a project at Washington University that is related to Lime. http://www.cs.wustl.edu/mobilab/Publications/Papers/2003/03-67%20\(Limone)%20COORD%202004.pdf this is a link to a paper, and you should contact the first author about the code.
