    Abstract: A method includes recording, by a first UAV, a current position of the first UAV, comparing, the current position of the first UAV to a current flight plan of the first UAV, and geocasting a first track declaration message. The method may further include receiving, by the first UAV, a second track declaration message generated by a second UAV, detecting a potential collision with the second UAV and executing a collision avoidance maneuver by the first UAV.

    Abstract: A method may include monitoring location information associated with a drone. The method may also include comparing the location information with an authorized zone. The method may also include, based on the comparison, determining a violation by the drone of a rule associated with the authorized zone. The method may include, in response to the violation, augmenting control of the drone to alter operation of the drone. The location information may include at least one of a current or predicted future location of the drone.

    Abstract: An aspect includes identifying a set of components of a storage system and determining dependencies among constituent components in the set of components. At least one of the components' ability to function is dependent on at least one other of the components' ability to function. The set of components includes at least one data storage component and at least one computation component configured to operate within at least one datacenter. An aspect also includes identifying a size, strength, and storage placement scheme of the storage system; simulating operation of the storage system based on the identified size, strength, and storage placement scheme; and determining a mean time between loss event from the simulated operation. The mean time between loss event factors in the dependencies among the constituent components. An aspect further includes assessing reliability of the storage system as a function of the mean time between loss event.

    Abstract: Geographic gaming via a scalable, wireless geographic broadcast protocol enables multiplayer gaming between communication devices without relying on traditional network elements. Games can be fully distributed over an ad hoc network of mobile communications devices. The scalable nature of the wireless geographic broadcast protocol enables multiplayer games to function equally well in both remote areas with no or little network service and in crowded areas containing both game players and other users of mobile communications devices. Wireless geographic broadcast messages distributed among multiplayer game participants can be used to control gameplay features and/or game elements of multiplayer games. Embodiments include simulated artillery battles, simulated throw and catch games, and simulated reconnaissance elements.

    Abstract translation: 通过可扩展的无线地理广播协议进行的地理游戏可以实现通信设备之间的多人游戏,而不依赖于传统的网络元件。 游戏可以通过移动通信设备的自组织网络完全分布。 无线地理广播协议的可扩展性使得多人游戏在没有或很少的网络服务的两个偏远地区以及包含游戏玩家和移动通信设备的其他用户的拥挤区域中同样能够起作用。 分布在多人游戏参与者之间的无线地理广播信息可用于控制多人游戏的游戏特征和/或游戏元素。 实施例包括模拟炮击,模拟投掷和捕捉游戏以及模拟侦察元件。

    Abstract: Media is distributed via a scalable ad hoc geographic routing/broadcast protocol. Media can be transmitted from a mobile device to a cluster of mobile devices that are geographically located in a particular region. Devices that are located between the source and the intended target can act as routers with the ability to forward data packets toward the intended destination. In essence, a geocast network cloud is established, allowing any device within the cloud to communicate with any other device in the cloud. Devices in the network can constantly change position and the transmission path through the network can be constantly changing. The geocast protocol adapts to the changing conditions.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for initiating real-time geo-game using geocast messaging according to a scalable tiered geocast protocol. The method includes a first wireless terminal (WT), programmed with a geo-gaming application and the scalable tiered geocast protocol, geocasting a game declaration to a destination geocast region containing potential participants. The method also includes a second WT, of one of the potential participants, and programmed with the geo-gaming application and the scalable tiered geocast protocol, receiving the game declaration in the destination geocast region and responding by geocasting a response message indicating interest in participating in the real-time geo-game.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device, including: a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of allocating a port for receiving a request to access a resource of a second device, wherein the second device has a non-routable network address, wherein the device is on a first network, wherein the second device is on a third network, and wherein the first network and the third network are communicatively coupled by the second network; opening a second connection to a network element on the second network responsive to receiving a first connection; sending a first message to the network element to create a meeting with the resource; and sending a Geocast message requesting that the second device create a third connection that enables access to the resource, wherein the Geocast message identifies a geographic area in which the second device is physically located. Other embodiments are disclosed.
