Abstract

Hoarding is an often used technique to overcome the disadvantages of wireless wide area communication. The basic idea of hoarding is to transfer information to a mobile device before it is actually accessed on the device. The main problem is to decide which information will be needed on the devices. We propose a hoarding mechanism which exploits the fact that the information a user accesses depends on his/her geographic location.
