Abstract
This application sets forth, among other things, a new approach for real time collection, discovery, and sharing of network and user information, which we refer to as Autonomous Collaborative Information Collection, Discovery, and Sharing (AC-CDS). It is autonomous because regular mobile users and devices act autonomously to collect information and make the information available to others. It is collaborative as the autonomous actions of the mobile users and devices help each other to discover the information they want.
