Controlled Store-Carry-Forward Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract:   In terms of handling node mobility in various mobile networks, two schools exist. The traditional connection-based model is built on the premise that the underlying network is connected, and views node mobility as undesirable. The mobility-assisted model considers mobility as a desirable feature, where routing is based on the store-carry-forward paradigm with random or controlled movement of mobile nodes. We consider the use of node mobility to enhance routing capability in a mobile network. A dual control planes model is presented, which includes the traditional stationary-plane for routing among stationary nodes using connection-based message routing. In addition, a new control plane, mobile-plane, is used for trajectory control of mobile nodes. We then look at several models for loosely controlled movement of mobile nodes to assist routing. Finally, we offer some potential application areas of this model.

Panel: “Do we need specialized ad hoc networks and systems?”

Rather than concentrating on general ad hoc networks and systems (GAHNS) that have to provide one-size-fits-all basis for all kinds of applications, this workshop proposes to focus on a variety of specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS), each suitable as a foundation for a restricted class of applications or even for an individual application. It is expected that SAHNS, thanks to exploiting salient features of their application areas, will result in overcoming barriers that make GAHNS-based solutions technically infeasible or inefficient.

The panelists can argue for or against research on specialized ad hoc networks and systems designed to facilitate development of specific application classes or applications. The panelists will be asked to illustrate their presentations and arguments with prominent examples of SAHNS-based or GAHNS-based application classes or applications.
