Wimax Based Approach to Enhance Localized Human Social Network

Abstract: The Internet is the most essential networking environment in the world. As more Internet applications become commonplace, more people want to use Internet applications with any device at any time or place. Therefore, as wireless networking becomes a mainstream reality for businesses and consumers, forward-thinking cities are moving to deploy high-bandwidth, citywide networks to support government workers, local businesses and residents. The World Wide Web (simply the “Web”), accessible via the Internet, has been the common information platform that can heavily impact the human life style and social relationships. However, traditional Web has limitations of interactivity and performance. Moreover, the client-server architecture obstructs information interchange. Additionally, most Web applications are only designed for conventional computers, not for mobile handheld devices which are becoming increasingly popular. Consequently, various designs including Web 2.0, Community 2.0, peer-to-peer architecture, Internet-scale operating system and etc are proposed to improve these shortcomings. Nevertheless, these systems are currently in developing or actually do not yet exist due to their complicated designs. Based on the above, we propose a concise connectivity approach capable of increasing the serviceableness of web in wireless citywide environments. In this approach, the distributed HTTP daemon, in conjunction with trusted global storage technologies, can be established. Next, the community-oriented grouping mechanism using global naming scheme can then be presented. Moreover, a practical information classification method for virtual community applications can also be constructed. This proposed community-oriented approach can not only support the use of mobile handheld devices in wireless citywide environments, but also can significantly improve the interactivity of information and enhance the localized human social network.
