Abstract

See full text

Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for digital message delivery using ad-hoc distributed device networking. In some embodiments, it may be determined that a first device comprising a first device cloud is within a dead zone. A second device with a second device cloud may be identified as a carrier device. Data may be transmitted to the second device cloud of the carrier device using a wireless network connection. An acknowledgement may be received from the first device that the first device cloud of the first device received the data from the second device cloud of the carrier device while in the dead zone.
