Abstract
A server () receives a first message indicating that a final destination is a first mobile node. Next, the server () determines, from among a plurality of gateways (to) that provide connectivity with a network infrastructure () to a plurality of wireless ad-hoc networks (to), a first gateway to which the first message is to be transferred, based on a movement history of the first mobile node. Then, the server () attempts to transmit the first message to the first mobile node through the determined first gateway. It is thus possible to contribute, for example, to an improvement of probability of delivering messages addressed to mobile nodes within a wireless ad-hoc network.
