Impact of Node Mobility and Network Density on Service Availability in MANETs

چکیده
Service discovery in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks is an essential process in order for these networks to be self-configurable with zero or minimal administrative overhead. Service discovery can be greatly enhanced in terms of efficiency (regarding service discoverability and energy consumption), by piggybacking service information into routing messages. Thus, service discovery does not generate additional messages and a node requesting a service, in addition to discovering that service, it is simultaneously informed of the route to the service provider. We extended the Zone Routing Protocol in order to encapsulate service information in its routing messages. We call this protocol E-ZRP. E-ZRP may be seen as a representative of routing layer protocols providing service discovery functionality. In this paper we conduct a sensitivity analysis for service availability using E-ZRP over various network conditions. The purpose of this analysis is to measure the effects of node speed and node density on the duration of discovered services, when service discovery is performed in parallel with routing, by a routing layer protocol.
