Telegeoinformatics: A novel approach towards efficient resource allocation and application and protocol development for wireless communications

Most algorithms and protocols developed to address the problem of maintaining uninterrupted communications and algorithms for addressing the resource allocation problem in wireless networks currently employ approaches that are either heuristic or are based on stochastic models. We suggest as an alternative, deterministic algorithms based on integrating GPS and GIS technologies with the wireless networking infrastructure, which we call Telegeoinformatics. Telegeoinformatics not only provides advanced and efficient solutions for several wireless networking problems, it also brings about new capabilities to the wireless networking infrastructure. In this paper, we provide an introduction to this new multidisciplinary area of research.
