    In this paper we propose an adaptive square-shaped trajectory (ASST)-based service location method to ensure load scalability in wireless sensor networks. This first establishes a square-shaped trajectory over the nodes that surround a target point computed by the hash function and any user can access it, using the hash. Both the width and the size of the trajectory are dynamically adjustable, depending on the number of queries made to the service information on the trajectory. The number of sensor nodes on the trajectory varies in proportion to the changing trajectory shape, allowing high loads to be distributed around the hot spot area

    Efficiency-complexity evaluation methods of routing algorithms in mobile ad hoc networks

    Routing in multidomain and multilayer networks is the subject of constant theoretical research, with special emphasis on routing optimization algorithms based on several criteria. Such research results in new proposals. The basic task of the algorithm is to perform the given task in a finite and reasonable period of time and with reasonable resource requirements. When new solutions are compared with previous solutions, it is necessary to consider as much information as possible about the characteristics and differences between these algorithms, which ultimately determines the degree of success of the algorithm. Routing algorithms depend on the goals to be achieved and most often solve a certain group of problems with certain simplifications of the overall problem and to the detriment of performance that are not crucial for a given routing optimization problem. Therefore, it is necessary to have acceptable methods for efficiency-complexity evaluation methods of routing algorithms with certain, universally applicable, metrics. Several theoretical approaches, including graph theory, optimization theory, complexity theory, allow approaches to compare the algorithms and the results achieved with the help of these algorithms

    Enhancing Cooperation in MANET Using the Backbone Group Model (An Application of Maximum Coverage Problem)

    AbstractMANET is a cooperative network in which every node is responsible for routing and forwarding as a result consumes more battery power and bandwidth. In order to save itself in terms of battery power and bandwidth noncooperation is genuine. Cooperation can be enhanced on the basis of reduction in resource consumption by involving a limited number of nodes in routing activities rather than all. To get accurate selection of nodes to define a backbone several works have been proposed in the literature. These works define a backbone with impractical assumptions that is not feasible for MANET. In this paper we have presented the Backbone Group (BG) model, which involve the minimum number of nodes called BG in routing activities instead of all. A BG is a minimal set of nodes that efficiently connects the network. We have divided a MANET in terms of the single hop neighborhood called locality group (LG). In a LG we have a cluster head (CH), a set of regular nodes (RNs) and one or more border nodes (BNs). The CHs are responsible for the creation and management of LG and BG. The CHs use a BG for a threshold time then switches to another BG, to involve all nodes in network participation. The proposed model shows its effectiveness in terms of reduction in routing overhead up to a ratio (n2: n2/k) where k is the number of LGs

    Survey And New Approach In Service Discovery And Advertisement For Mobile Ad Hoc Networks.

    Service advertisement and discovery is an important component for mobile adhoc communications and collaboration in ubiquitous computing environments. The ability to discover services offered in a mobile adhoc network is the major prerequisite for effective usability of these networks. This paper aims to classify and compare existing Service Discovery (SD) protocols for MANETs by grouping them based on their SD strategies and service information accumulation strategies, and to propose an efficient approach for addressing the inherent issues
