Dynamic adaptive replica allocation in mobile ad hoc networks
Yang Kan · Journal of China Institute of Communications · 2004
Replica allocation in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) is a significant challenge. In this paper, a dynamic adaptive replica allocation algorithm that can adapt to the nodes motion is proposed to minimize the communication cost of object access. To reduce the oscillation of replica allocation, a statistical method based on stable neighbors information is utilized. Simulation results show that our algorithms efficiently reduce the communication cost of object access in MANET environment.
