Push-Pull Cache Consistency Mechanism For Cooperative Caching In Mobile Ad Hoc Environments, Lilly Sheeba Selvin, Yogesh Palanichamy Jan 2016

Push-Pull Cache Consistency Mechanism For Cooperative Caching In Mobile Ad Hoc Environments, Lilly Sheeba Selvin, Yogesh Palanichamy

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Maintaining data consistency between data cached by a mobile client and data residing in the data server is a major issue in a wireless mobile environment. In this paper, we propose a push-pull cache consistency (2P2C) mechanism, with the intention of increasing the rate of serving requestors with recent up-to-date information or data from the cache of the intermediate nodes that are exact replicas of the data present in the origin server. This is a hybrid scheme that does not rely entirely either on the server or on the mobile client for maintaining consistency. Here we employ a registration process. …


A Social Relation Aware Routing Protocol For Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, Jisun An, Yangwoo Ko, Dongman Lee Mar 2009

A Social Relation Aware Routing Protocol For Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, Jisun An, Yangwoo Ko, Dongman Lee

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper, we propose a social relation aware routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks, which is designed for content sharing mobile social applications. Since a content can be shared by a group of users who have similar interests, the similarity of users' interests is a good metric to predict who will consume which contents. Shared interests can be exploited in routing and replication of content request and reply to achieve enhanced efficacy in content sharing. Since routing determines which content will be forwarded by whom, a route selected based on similarity of interest increases the utilization of contents …


Node Caching Enhancement Of Reactive Ad Hoc Routing Protocol, Sunsook Jung Jan 2006

Node Caching Enhancement Of Reactive Ad Hoc Routing Protocol, Sunsook Jung

Computer Science Theses

Enhancing route request broadcasting protocols constitutes a substantial part of research in mobile ad hoc network routing. In the thesis, enhancements of ad hoc routing protocols, energy efficiency metrics and clustered topology generators are discussed. The contributions include the followings. First, a node caching enhancement of Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol is introduced. Extensive simulation studies of the enhanced AODV in NS2 shows up to 9-fold reduction in the routing overhead, up to 20% improvement in the packet delivery ratio and up to 60% reduction in the end-to-end delay. The largest improvement happens to highly stressed situations. Secondly, …


Effective Bootstrapping Of Peer-To Peer Networks Over Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks, Wei Ding Jan 2006

Effective Bootstrapping Of Peer-To Peer Networks Over Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks, Wei Ding

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks are vigorous, revolutionary communication technologies in the 21st century. They lead the trend of decentralization. Decentralization will ultimately win clients over client/server model, because it gives ordinary network users more control, and stimulates their active participation. It is a determinant factor in shaping the future of networking. MANETs and P2P networks are very similar in nature. Both are dynamic, distributed. Both use multi-hop broadcast or multicast as major pattern of traffic. Both set up connection by self-organizing and maintain connection by self-healing. Embodying the slogan "networking without networks," both abandoned traditional client/server …


Experimental Evaluation Of Wireless Simulation Assumptions, David Kotz, Calvin Newport, Robert S. Gray, Jason Liu, Yougu Yuan, Chip Elliot Oct 2004

Experimental Evaluation Of Wireless Simulation Assumptions, David Kotz, Calvin Newport, Robert S. Gray, Jason Liu, Yougu Yuan, Chip Elliot

Dartmouth Scholarship

All analytical and simulation research on ad hoc wireless networks must necessarily model radio propagation using simplifying assumptions. We provide a comprehensive review of six assumptions that are still part of many ad hoc network simulation studies, despite increasing awareness of the need to represent more realistic features, including hills, obstacles, link asymmetries, and unpredictable fading. We use an extensive set of measurements from a large outdoor routing experiment to demonstrate the weakness of these assumptions, and show how these assumptions cause simulation results to differ significantly from experimental results. We close with a series of recommendations for researchers, whether …


Making The Key Agreement Protocol In Mobile Ad Hoc Network More Efficient, Gang Yao, Kui Ren, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng, Dengguo Feng Oct 2003

Making The Key Agreement Protocol In Mobile Ad Hoc Network More Efficient, Gang Yao, Kui Ren, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng, Dengguo Feng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Mobile ad hoc networks offer convenient infrastructureless communications over the shared wireless channel. However, the nature of mobile ad hoc networks makes them vulnerable to security attacks, such as passive eavesdropping over the wireless channel and denial of service attacks by malicious nodes. To ensure the security, several cryptography protocols are implemented. Due to the resource scarcity in mobile ad hoc networks, the protocols must be communication efficient and need as less computational power as possible. Broadcast communication is an important operation for many application in mobile ad hoc networks. To securely broadcast a message, all the members in the …


Three Power-Aware Routing Algorithms For Sensor Networks, Javed Aslam, Qun Li, Daniela Rus Jul 2002

Three Power-Aware Routing Algorithms For Sensor Networks, Javed Aslam, Qun Li, Daniela Rus

Dartmouth Scholarship

This paper discusses online power‐aware routing in large wireless ad hoc networks (especially sensor networks) for applications in which the message sequence is not known. We seek to optimize the lifetime of the network. We show that online power‐aware routing does not have a constant competitive ratio to the off‐line optimal algorithm. We develop an approximation algorithm called maxmin zPmin that has a good empirical competitive ratio. To ensure scalability, we introduce a second online algorithm for power‐aware routing. This hierarchical algorithm is called zone‐based routing. Our experiments show that its performance is quite good. Finally, we …
