Abstract

The paper proposes a distributed storage service utilizing ad hoc networking between mobile nodes in a localized geographical area. The service is based on a distributed architecture and allows a group of users to utilize their mobile devices for implementing a transient storage system. Using mobile devices alone as storage media without any wired infrastructure support presents numerous challenges. These challenges include stored data’s inaccessibility due to nodes mobility or data loss due to wireless communication failure or even the unexpected “death” of a node. The proposed solution successfully offsets these problems by using an erasure coding based scheme for achieving a reliable storage system with a low space overhead. The proposed solution has been analyzed for its performance through simulation experiments. The results prove the efficacy of the solution in achieving high data recoverability with low communication overhead.
