Implementation of a lightweight service advertisement and discovery protocol for mobile ad hoc networks
Wenbin Ma, Baoning Wu, Wei Zhang, Liang Cheng · 2003
Service advertisement and discovery are important components for computing in mobile ad hoc network (MANET). In this paper, a lightweight protocol of service advertisement and discovery has been implemented, which is based on a MANET multicast protocol ODMRP (On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol). In this protocol, service advertisement and discovery information is piggybacked in ODMRP routing control packets. Simulation results of the implementation prove that the implementation workload and resource consumption of the protocol are lightweight.
