[1][2] EraMobile supports group applications that require high reliability and low overhead with loose delivery time constraints.
EraMobile adopts an epidemic-based approach, which uses gossip messages,[3] to cope with dynamic topology changes due to the mobility of network nodes.
EraMobile's epidemic mechanism does not require maintaining any tree- or mesh-like structure for multicast operation.
The lack of a central structure for multicast lowers the network overhead by eliminating redundant data transmissions.
EraMobile contains a simple adaptivity mechanism which tunes the frequency of control packages based on the node density in the network.
