Abstract

Hybrid cellular and wireless ad-hoc network architectures are currently considered to be promising alternative solutions to the standalone cellular or ad-hoc network architectures. In this paper, we propose an efficient Hash Table-Based Node Identification (HTNI) Method using which bandwidth for various flows can be reserved in such network environments. Bandwidth reservation depends on the type of the traffic and its priorities. We define a bandwidth reservation factor for use in such hybrid network environments. We propose a cross-layer-based architecture for bandwidth reservation to maintain Quality-of-Service (QoS). We use a priority re-allocation method for flows which starve for long time. The proposed method is useful for finding the position of nodes with low communication cost.
