Abstract

In this article, we investigate how a service discovery protocol at the service layer in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks can be improved, by utilizing routing information from the network layer. We consider in this article proactive routing protocols as basis for the underlying routing mechanism, and focus on the optimization of proactive service discovery protocols. First we introduce a general framework, enabling the cooperation of service layer and network layer, and then we propose the optimization scheme. The performance evaluation done by simulation shows that the proposed cooperation scheme can optimize the service discovery protocol, i.e. reduce the communication cost of service discovery, by utilizing routing table and topology information.
