Information is distributed to nodes of a mobile ad hoc network, wherein the nodes dispose of position sensing elements, wherein a predeterminable geographic target area is defined and every information is assigned a pre-determinable lifetime, and wherein an information is distributed during its lifetime to all of the nodes being positioned within the target area and to nodes entering the target area by adding a list of correspondingly neighbored nodes in the target area to the broadcast message by which a node sends the information, and wherein nodes, which receive the message, only re-transmit the message if they have further neighboring nodes in the target area that are not contained in the received list.
A method for distributing information to nodes of a mobile ad hoc network, wherein the nodes dispose of means for position sensing, wherein a pre-determinable geographic target area is defined and every information is assigned a pre-determinable lifetime, and wherein an information is distributed during its lifetime to all of the nodes being positioned within the target area and to the nodes entering the target area by adding a list of correspondingly neighbored nodes in the target area to a broadcast message by which a node sends the information, and nodes, which receive the message, only re-transmit the message if they have at least one further neighbored node in the target area that are not contained in the received list.
A system for distributing information to nodes of a mobile ad hoc network, wherein each of the nodes comprises:
