A quick termination detection protocol by reducing overload for mobile ad hoc networks

Abstract

An ad hoc network is characterized by the fact that there is no fixed topology due to the mobility of nodes, interference, multipath propagation and path loss. Execution of applications in such kind of networks typically consists of a number of successive phases such as network reprogramming, localization, power monitoring, and parameter updates. Termination detection of a phase is therefore a critical operation to safely execute a new phase on some or all of the network nodes. In resource constrained network environment the overhead should be minimum in order to increase throughput and minimize delay. This paper studies the existing solutions for termination detection by analyzing their effectiveness. Moreover, in this paper, we propose an efficient algorithmic solution to encounter termination detection by minimizing the network overloads.
