Abstract

This paper proposes an adaptive and reliable message delivery protocol for mobile objects. The protocol uses a mailbox-based scheme, which associates each mobile object with a mailbox while allowing the decoupling between them. It provides location-independent message passing and overcome message loss caused by mobile object´s mobility. It also reduces the reliance on home location sever and relaxes the constraint on mobile object´s mobility. The protocol is suitable for different mobility and communication patterns by choosing different mailbox migration frequency properly. Its applications include mobile agent system, mobile Internet and short message service.
