Trend Analyses of Critical Values Obtained for Sender Node Energy Savings Achievable in Ubicomp MANETs Using Location Aware Transmission
Muhammad Kaleem, Nawaz Ali Mohamudally · 2017
MANET transmission strategies coupled with location-awareness is welcome in ubicomp [1-45] and hence remain good topics of research.The success of these strategies depend heavily on the correct protocol designs being adopted.Current research attempts assume present methods for protocol design as heuristic in nature [83] and hence not so suitable for "correct the first time implementations".Optimisation methods for tuning parameters in middleware services and applications [84] is needed and suitability of traditional layered architecture in networking is also questioned [85] in terms of QoS and node densities.A further aim in this direction is to achieve realism in design and evaluation of wireless routing protocols [86].This can be enhanced towards predictability in ubicomp.Achieving realism is a very long process since it will involve realism in each aspect concerned with ubicomp.Such an aspect was studied in a previous research [14] to assess the trend of energy savings achievable by sender node (SES) in Location-Aware MANET Transmission, followed by the study of trends for each SES parameter of equations [30].To enhance the components towards realism in knowledge of these trends, in this paper, the next set of questions to be investigated is put forward as: "What are the observable critical values in SES trends?What are the trends of variation observable within each critical value for metric SES over varying node densities?"Such knowledge will assist designers in producing more realistic ubicomp scenarios over which new ubicomp features and protocols can be tested more realistically.This work follows-up from previous work [1-45].
