Abstract:
A mobile ad hoc network (shortly, MANET) that consists of mobile nodes (shortly, nodes) is one of autonomous decentralized networks. Since the network topology changes frequently due to the node movement, it is difficult for each node to grasp the application (service) in MANETs. In order to solve this problem, the service information discovery scheme using mobile agents has been proposed for MANETs. In this scheme, a mobile agent collects and disseminates service information while moving autonomously from a node to another node in the network. However, in heterogeneous MANETs, mobile agents cannot migrate between different MANETs. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the mechanism to efficiently collect and disseminate service information based on mobile agent, and then show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme through simulation experiments.
