Abstract

A mobile data network supports making subscriber data addressable as devices in a mobile data network. Each data chunk is assigned a device address in the mobile data network. The data chunk can then be addressed as a device in the mobile data network. Data chunks corresponding to a subscriber are distributed across multiple devices in the mobile data network, which may include subscriber devices, network components in the mobile data network, and specialized devices provided by storage providers. The mobile data network is queried to determine related devices. An ad-hoc network of the related devices is formed. A data query by one of the related devices is sent to the related devices in the ad-hoc network to determine whether the data query can be satisfied by one of the related devices. If not, the data query is sent via normal channels in the mobile data network.
