Mobile Ad Hoc

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that forms a temporary network without the aid of a fixed communication infrastructure. Since every node can be mobile and network topology changes can occur frequently, node disconnection is a common mode of operation in MANETs. Providing reliable data access and message delivery is a challenge in this dynamic network environment. Caching and replica allocation within the network can improve data accessibility by storing the data and accessing them locally. However, maintaining data consistency among replicas becomes a challenging problem. Hence, balancing data accessibility and consistency is an important step toward data management in MANETs. In this paper, we propose a replica-based data-storage mechanism and undelivered-message queue schemes to provide reliable data storage and dissemination. We also propose replica update strategies to maintain data consistency while improving data accessibility. These solutions are based on a clustered MANET where nodes in the network are divided into small groups that are suitable for localized data management. The goal is to reduce communication overhead, support localized computation, and enhance scalability. A simulation environment was built using an NS-2 network simulator to evaluate the performance of the proposed schemes. The results show that our schemes distribute replicas effectively, provide high data accessibility rates and maintain consistency.

The Future

Purpose A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) enables providers and customers to communicate without a fixed infrastructure. Databases are extended on MANETs to have easy data access and update. As the energy and mobility limitations of both servers and clients affect the availability of data in MANETs, these data are replicated. The purpose of this paper is to provide a literature review of data replication issues and classify the available strategies based on the issues they addressed. Design/methodology/approach The selected articles are reviewed based on the defined criteria. Also, the differences, the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques are described. The methods in the literature can be categorized into three groups, including cluster-based, location-based and group-based mechanisms. Findings High flexibility and data consistency are the features of cluster-based mechanisms. The location-based mechanisms are also appropriate for replica allocation, and they mostly have low network traffic and delay. Also, the group-based mechanism has high data accessibility compared to other mechanisms. Data accessibility and time have got more attention to data replication techniques. Scalability as an important parameter must be considered more in the future. The reduction of storage cost in MANETs is the main goal of data replication. Researchers have to consider the cost parameter when another parameter will be influenced. Research limitations/implications Data replication in MANETs has been covered in different available sources such as Web pages, technical reports, academic publications and editorial notes. The articles published in national journals and conferences are ignored in this study. This study includes articles from academic main international journals to get the best capability. Originality/value The paper reviews the past and the state-of-the-art mechanisms in data replication in MANET. Exclusively, data replication’s main goal, existing challenges, research terminologies and mechanisms in MANET are summarized using the answers to the research questions. This method will help researchers in the future to develop more effective data replication method in MANET.

To improve data accessibility in ad hoc networks, we have proposed a few methods of replicating data items on mobile hosts by considering the data access frequencies from mobile hosts to each data item and the network topology. In this paper, we address techniques to manage locations of data items or replicas and efficiently forward access requests to the locations. In order to manage locations of data items efficiently, a key issues is predicting the locations of data items that dynamically change. To predict the locations of data items, we use the information on replica allocation at every relocation time and the logs of past data accesses.

Mobile adhoc networks (MANETs) have drawn attention to multitudinous consideration because of the univerality of mobile devices as well as the developments in wireless era. MANET is a peer-to-peer multi hop cellular wireless era community which does not have both difficult and speedy infrastructure and a relevant server. Every vertex of a MANET performs like a router and communicates with every unique. There exist numerous information duplication strategies which were presented to reduce the execution squalor. All are concluded that everyone cell vertices cooperate completely from the perspective of sharing their memory vicinity. But, via a few methods few vertices might additionally behave selfishly and determine simplest to cooperate in part or never with different vertices. The selfish vertices ought to then lessen the overall information approachability within the network. From this work, we try to take a look at the influence of selfish vertices in a mobile ad hoc community in terms of reproduction issuance i.e Selfish nodes are dealt with in replica allocation.

Data Access Control

In the process of sharing data, the costless replication of electric energy data leads to the problem of uncontrolled data and the difficulty of third-party access verification. This paper proposes a controlled sharing mechanism of data based on the consortium blockchain. The data flow range is controlled by the data isolation mechanism between channels provided by the consortium blockchain by constructing a data storage consortium chain to achieve trusted data storage, combining attribute-based encryption to complete data access control and meet the demands for granular data accessibility control and secure sharing; the data flow transfer ledger is built to record the original data life cycle management and effectively record the data transfer process of each data controller. Taking the application scenario of electric energy data sharing as an example, the scheme is designed and simulated on the Linux system and Hyperledger Fabric. Experimental results have verified that the mechanism can effectively control the scope of access to electrical energy data and realize the control of the data by the data owner.
