Abstract

The research in the field of service discovery in mobile ad-hoc networks is characterised by a lack of quantitative research. Many ideas have been put forward but few have been tested, either in simulation or real life. This paper fills part of that void, by comparing through simulation a simple broadcast-flood protocol, an integrated routing and service-discovery approach, and a global-knowledge based approach. The results show that using an integrated approach can achieve a similar level of performance as a global-knowledge based approach.
