Opportunistic networking requires timely discovery of locally available peers with an incentive to communicate, i.e. that share an interest in an application or content. To overcome the absence of mobile OS support for incorporation of interests in peer discovery, we propose ICON, an integrated mobile cloud solution that discovers mobile peers in communication range through a cloud service. Peers manage and update their current location and interests at the cloud service using the device's 3G connection. Once a peer with matching interests is in range, the cloud service opportunistically triggers a local 802.11 network between the peers' devices. We show the feasibility, performance, and energy efficiency of ICON and highlight its real-world applicability. Through this mechanism, ICON allows the ready deployment of opportunistic applications without additional OS support, bringing opportunistic network services to unmodified consumer devices. |
