1. A method of managing content stored on a plurality of mobile nodes in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), comprising:
- binding, using computer memory, the content to one or more geographical locations such that, at any given time, the content is stored on at least one of the nodes at the geographical location by;
(i) constructing one or more virtual layers of geographic grids on a physical area of the MANET, wherein each of the layers comprises a plurality of same-sized virtual cells; and
(ii) assigning the content to the cells in each of the layers.
