Abstract

Ad hoc networking enables novel communication paradigms which require the definition of new frameworks and parameters for quality of service (QoS) support. The relevant QoS requirements are frequently antagonist and thus also appropriate tradeoff have to be determined and achieved to fit all of them. As an example, consider the spontaneous networking featured by self-organizing ad hoc networks. Spontaneous networking can happen only if neighboring communication nodes discover each other within a short period of time; however, velocity of discovery is paid in terms of energy consumption. In this paper we consider the tradeoff between energy efficiency and responsiveness in the discovery process. More specifically, our objective is to achieve the highest velocity in the discovery process, given that the energy consumption is lower than a certain threshold, or to minimize the energy consumption given that specific requirements in terms of the discovery velocity are satisfied.
