Rich Presence Information in Agent based Machine-to-Machine Communication

Machine-to-Machine (M2 M) communication is characterized by communication between two or more entities that do not need human intervention in a heterogeneous environment. M2 M entities in some cases need to turn off communication in order to preserve energy in which cases other entities can not communicate with them. The M2 M entities can be aware of such context information and utilize it to perform optimisation in communication. Such information is defined as rich presence information and is used in this paper. The paper extends the mobile agent network with presence context information and applies it in experiments.
