In this paper a trust-based coalition formation game is proposed to design opportunistic hop-by-hop forwarding schemes, relying on cellular Device-to-Device (D2D) communications, to enhance content uploading services.
The basic premise of cooperative communications is to allow a mobile user to act as a relay node to help other neighboring mobile users via short-range communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, cellular device-to-device communications, or Bluetooth, among others.
Since 1997, 34 cellular installations have been placed in Greenburgh -- not counting the ersatz flagpole -- because several major highways lace the town and the rugged topography blocks the radio signals that enable cellular devices to work.
Device-to-device (D2D) communication-enabled cellular networks allow cellular devices to directly communicate with each other without any evolved NodeB (eNB).
Mobile phones went from being cellular devices to something else, something with sexy touch-screen effects and whatnot, and that in turn opened the door to many other innovations.
While camping out in his new "room," police say Hubbard decided to take advantage of the resources surrounding him by using an electrical outlet that he found underneath the bed to charge all four of his cellular devices (at the time of press, it was not entirely clear why he had so many phones).
(The New York Times) Not Lost for Long On the market in March, this $50 cellular device will allow you to locate your luggage when airlines can't.
By connecting with Android mobile phones or iPhones through Bluetooth, the Google Glass is also capable of using the cellular device's telecommunications capabilities to access the Internet in areas without Wi-Fi and determine location information via global positioning systems (GPS) and/or triangulation through cellular service provider towers.
Opportunistic networks can increase network capacity, support collaborative downloading of content and offload traffic from a cellular to a cellular-assisted, device-to-device network.
Telecom Italia and Polymer Vision will demonstrate at 3GSM a rollable cellular device the pair recently agreed to manufacture together.
