Management of PDP/PEP for PBNM in MANETs

Kyung-Jin Lee, Hanan L. Lutfiyya, Wang‐Cheol Song · 2006

Policy-based network management (PBNM) in the mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) requires additional reliable and efficient mechanism over PBNM in wired networks. Thus, it is important that the management system in MANETs should cluster the moving nodes and manage their movements in an effective manner. In this paper, we propose a mechanism for the policy-based management in ad hoc networks in which we discuss methods to discover the policy decision point (PDP), set the management area, and manage the movements of nodes in the PBNM system. Moreover, COPS-PR is extended for the mechanism. Finally, we discuss the results through simulations
