Abstract

The aim of this work is to present a generic algorithm for supervisory control of periodical updates by monitoring mobility and traffic load in ad hoc networks. We discuss the specifications of a proposed mobility metric for mobile ad hoc network protocol evaluation that captures both longevity and rate of link changes. We apply our proposed mobility metric in conjunction with traffic load information as input parameters to design a generic algorithm that controls the rate of wireless link state updates to improve the efficiency of proactive protocols. We describe the application of the proposed controller to improve the efficiency proactive routing and internet gateway discovery protocols.
