Energy‐efficient adaptive resource management strategy for large‐scale mobile ad hoc networks

The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel resource management strategy, which needs no special frameworks and directory servers.

The key idea is to piggyback a little extra packet header on the normal routing message by resource providers randomly. The clients can obtain the resource information gradually and need no dedicated resource queries.

The results of simulation confirm the good performance of our algorithms in different situations in terms of query latency and power consumption.

A novel resource management strategy, which needs no special frameworks and directory servers. The approach can be used in many current routing protocols. The quality of service issue is also considered for resource discovery algorithm and broadcasting method.
