Abstract:
Energy efficiency is an important aspect of green computing. In order to achieve green computing in service discovery protocols for MANETs, it is essential for researchers to investigate energy efficiency mechanisms able to prevent collisions and interferences, which both represent a waste of channel bandwidth and energy. In this paper, we propose a service discovery protocol that applies a data aggregation scheme in intermediate nodes to reduce messages replies in these networks. The results show that this mechanism makes it possible to maintain the trade off between the discovery success rate and the message reduction, hence, minimizing the energy consumption.
