Abstract

In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), since mobility of mobile hosts causes frequent network partitioning, consistency management of data operations on replicas becomes a crucial issue. in our previous work, we have defined several consistency levels for MANET applications and designed protocols to achieve these consistency levels. These protocols are mainly based on a dynamic quorum system to cope with network partitioning and node and network failures. in this paper, we further investigate the impact of quorum construction on the system performance through simulation studies. Specifically, we change the number of mobile hosts that replicate data items, and which hosts replicate each data item in the simulations and examine the impact on the system performance in terms of data availability and traffic. © 2010 IEEE.
