AD HOC DISTRIBUTED RESOURCE COORDINATION FOR A WIRELESS GRID
First Claim
1. An architecture for a wireless grid network, comprising:
- a resource descriptor for defining a resource participating in said network;
a service agent interconnected to said resource descriptor for publishing said resource to said network;
a session manager interconnected to said service agent for establishing a session between a wireless device participating in said network and said resource; and
a resource manager interconnected to said session manager, said service agent, and said resource descriptor for controlling the session between said wireless device and resource.

Abstract
A system and method for the ad hoc distribution of resources within a wireless grid for coordinating dynamic resource sharing. The architecture of the present invention comprises four primary modules: a resource descriptor that specifies the language for defining the resources; a service agent that facilitates interactions between the requesting devices and available resources; a resource manager that defines the methods by which the resources are shared, used, managed, and paid for; and a session manager that handles the establishment of sessions between mobile devices in a manner that does not require a centralized name service or directory. The combination of these modules allow for the rapid development of applications based on the wireless grid technologies using these common building blocks.
