Cross-Layer Discovery and Routing in Reconfigurable Wireless Networks
Overview The work discussed in this paper addresses the need for application-aware adaptive communication in mobile ad hoc networks that creates network routes based on applications' dynamic resource requests. This paper introduces an intuitive generalization to source routing which facilitates discovery of a resource in a mobile ad hoc network and the creation and maintenance of a route from the requesting host to the discovered destination. The paper thus eliminates the requirement that existing routing protocols be coupled with a name or resource resolution protocol, instead favoring an entirely reactive approach to accommodate significant degrees of mobility and uncertainty.
