P2P Information Lookup, Collection, and Distribution in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks
Peter Kropf, Pascal Felber & Raphaël Kummer
| Résumé |
The most important characteristics of mobile ad-hoc networks
(MANETs) such as broadcast and multihop communication, limited
resources (particularly energy) and physical proximity are often
ignored in solutions being proposed for information lookup and
distribution. Thus, many lookup approaches rely on unstructured
algorithms using flooding techniques, while content distribution
mechanisms frequently generate inefficient multicast trees without
considering the presence of nodes that are involved only as relays
and are not interested in the distributed content. In this chapter,
the authors present a multicast algorithm designed to build
efficient multicast trees in MANETs that strive to limit the number
of relay nodes and transmissions required. This distribution
infrastructure relies on a lightweight distributed hash table (DHT)
specifically adapted to MANETs, and exploits the physical proximity
of nodes and broadcast communication. The algorithmic efficiency
and scalability are evaluated by means of simulations for various
network sizes and configurations. |
