Abstract

We propose a new task called \(\delta \)-local gossip, which can be viewed as a variant of both gossiping and geocasting. We motivate its study by showing how the tasks of discovering and maintaining neighbourhood information reduce to solving \(\delta \)-local gossip. We then provide a deterministic algorithm that solves \(\delta \)-local gossip when nodes travel on a line along arbitrary continuous trajectories with bounded speed.
