Abstract:

The dependencies among the components of service oriented software applications hosted in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) are difficult to determine due to the inherent loose coupling of the services and the transient communication. To deal with the complicated medium access interactions induced by relaying and leverage the benefits of such cooperation, an efficient Cooperative Medium Access Control (CMAC) protocol is needed. A novel cross-layer distributed energy-adaptive location-based CMAC protocol, namely DEL-CMAC, for Mobile Ad-hoc networks (MANETs). The design objective of DEL-CMAC is to improve the performance of the MANETs in terms of network lifetime and energy efficiency. A practical energy consumption model is utilized in this paper, which takes the energy consumption on both transceiver circuitry and transmit amplifier into account. A distributed utility-based best relay selection strategy is incorporated, which selects the best relay based on location information and residual energy. Current methods for discovering dependencies, developed primarily for fixed networks, assume that dependencies change only slowly and require relatively long monitoring periods as well as substantial memory and communication resources, all of which are impractical in the MANET environment. We describe a new dynamic dependence discovery method designed specifically for this environment, yielding dynamic snapshots of dependence relationships discovered through observations of service interactions.
