Abstract

This paper proposes an ad hoc network system based on mobile agents. We regard some special mobile agent as an implementation of the network protocol. Mobile agents can move over the network while being carried by protocol agents. Implementation of the protocols by the mobile agents enables the dynamic extension of the network. We introduce agent replication for the simple development of the inter-agent communication. Agent hierarchy enables the component software design. We also describe the implementation of the ad hoc network protocol DSR using our prototype system MAGNET that is based on the framework.
