We present an analytical, epidemiological, model for the overhead of information dissemination in mobile networks, which finds application in a range of settings, including resource discovery, information dissemination in sensor networks, location services and ad hoc network routing. We consider two principal information dissemination mechanisms, one for which nodes strictly relay information for...
We compute the probability that a path is discovered by a class of reactive routing protocols which we denote as random reactive protocols. These reactive protocols do not flood the network, but attempt to find a path from the source to the destination by sending a packet to a destination chosen randomly. Several protocols, including VRR or AODV-NF can be included in this class. We compute the route...
The task of routing streaming data in a sensor network is made arduous by the resource constraints imposed on each node. The control overhead of a routing protocol has to be minimized in order to preserve limited resources at the node. Furthermore, it is widely expected that the gateway of the sensor network will not be static in many application scenarios, but will be moving around the network. The...
Routing streaming data in a sensor network is a task made arduous by the resource constraints imposed on each node. Furthermore, it is widely expected that the gateway of the sensor network will not be static in many application scenario, but will be moving about the network. We study a simple protocol and consider the cost it imposes on the networks in terms of number of messages sent, or equivalently,...
