Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are infrastructure-less, multi-hop wireless networks. Nodes in the MANET have to be configured with unique addresses for unicast communications. As the nodes are mobile, the centralized administration does not suit for auto-configuration. So, we need a distributed address auto-configuration scheme for MANETs. Most of the existing schemes use DAD to ensure uniqueness,...
There are more and more studies in focus on mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Because of the advantage of it can be constructed only by mobile hosts which work like routers. Even if no infrastructure, communication still can be proceeded. It is applicable in the urgent rescue, military battlefield and other situations that must temporarily construct the network. In MANET, mobile hosts (MHs) will store...
The virtual node layer (VNLayer) is a programming abstraction for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). It defines simple virtual servers at fixed locations in a network, addressing a central problem for MANETs, which is the absence of fixed infrastructure. Advantages of this abstraction are that persistent state is maintained in each region, even when mobile nodes move or fail, and that simple wireline...
High service availability is difficult to achieve in mobile ad hoc networks. The service distribution protocol for mobile ad hoc networks increases the mobile service availability by employing coupled replication and hibernation mechanisms. In this paper, different hibernation behaviors are studied against the general performance of this protocol, especially the replica allocation correctness.
The idea of increasing data accessibility in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) by replicating data still remains a challenge due to the inherent unreliable and unstable nature of MANETs. Being aware of relative host mobility changes provides useful instability information of mobile hosts and helps in managing replicas. This paper introduces a new concept as node interactivity self assessment (NISA),...
A mobile node in a MANET must be assigned with a free IP address before it may participate in unicast communications. This is a fundamental and difficult problem in the practical application of any MANET. There have been several solutions proposed, among which prophet address allocation outperforms others in terms of communication overhead, latency, and scalability. However, none of the approaches...
In a highly mobile and infrastructure-less networks such as Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET), preconfiguration of addresses to the nodes is not possible. Therefore, node addresses must be configured dynamically with minimum delay and packet loss. The address auto-configuration protocol manages the resource address space to assign a unique network address to an un-configured node. This paper proposes...
