Wireless Message Dissemination via Selective Relay over Bluetooth (MDSRoB)

Abstract

This paper presents a wireless message dissemination method designed with no need to trust other users. This method utilizes modern wireless adaptors ability to broadcast device name and identification information. Using the scanning features built into Bluetooth and Wifi, messages can be exchanged via their device names. This paper outlines a method of interchanging multiple messages to discoverable and nondiscoverable devices using a user defined scanning interval method along with a response based system. By selectively relaying messages each user is in control of their involvement in the ad-hoc network.
