Description
In mobile ad hoc networks, it is challenging to solve the standard problems
encountered in fixed network because of the unpredictable motion of mobile nodes.
Due to the lack of a fixed infrastructure to serve as the backbone of the network, it
is difficult to manage nodes' locations and ensure the stable node performance. The
virtual mobile node (VMN) abstraction that has been applied implements an virtual
mobile node that consists of a set of real nodes traveling on one predetermined virtual
path to collect messages and deliver them to the destinations when they meet. It
conquers the unpredictable motion with virtual nodes' predictable motion. But it
encounters unavoidable failure when all the nodes leave the VMN region and stop
emulating the VMN. We extend the idea of the VMN abstraction to the Multi-path
Intelligent Virtual Mobile Node (MIVMN) abstraction, which allows the messages
to switch between multiple Hamiltonian paths to increase the message delivery ratio
and decrease the failure rate of the virtual nodes. Through simulation results we
show that the MIVMN abstraction successfully meets our goals.
