Wireless Networks - Recent Advances in Resource Management in Mobile, Wireless and Ad-Hoc Networks

Mobile, wireless, and ad-hoc networks are becoming increasingly significant parts of distributed task-based applications. These types of network systems play a vital role in military defence, rescue missions, and civilian search parties. Due to the inherent nature of such systems in handling various applications that share a common network, high network topology variation and quality of communication are at risk. Hence novel resource management techniques are being tried and tested for the betterment of such critical ad-hoc networks. The most widely used resource management systems enable admission to applications to the network and arbitration of critical resources.


However, the major limitation of such resource management systems for mobile, wireless and ad-hoc networks is the maintenance of Quality of Service (QoS). This is mainly due to the high variation in the bandwidth, availability of resources, quality of the link, and delay. Overcoming this limitation has become a key objective in most recent studies and research methodologies. For instance, one research concentrates on the development of a middleware that will help in QOS specification, adaptive resource utilization, end-to-end negotiation etc. This is achieved with the help of a pipeline network topology which consists of several periodic processing phases. The greedy admission protocol used in such an innovative network topology adequately replaces the mixed-integer programming optimization with a real-time resource allocation system. Another interesting advance includes addressing critical issues such as policy-based resource management for ad-hoc networks and access policing and control. In order to address these issues, a concept based on the degree of participation of nodes in the routing process is employed.


Based on the agreed degree, the routing load is distributed to the nodes involved in the process. One recent and innovative advance preserves the bandwidth for high-priority tasks thus averting transmission conflicts. This is seamlessly achieved through the use of a location-aware bandwidth pre-reservation system. In such a system, the priority tasks are identified based on the geographical location of the nodes. This technique also offers a reservation algorithm in addition to the calculation of the end-to-end bandwidth. There are still a lot of research gaps in the design issues. Future research can focus on addressing these issues effectively and economically.

Potential list of topics includes, but are not limited to:

  • Novel multiple access protocols for mobile radio networks and ad-hoc networks.
  • Development of a cluster-based routing protocol for resource allocation and management in a mobile, wireless, and ad-hoc network.
  • Optimization of the resource allocation process in a discrete ad-hoc network setting.
  • Tools and technologies for developing self-organising ad-hoc network management systems.
  • Sustainable and energy-efficient routing protocols for green resource management in mobile ad-hoc networks.
  • Route configurability of ad-hoc mobile networks in a power-constrained working environment
  • Innovative QoS routing algorithms for mobile, wireless, and ad-hoc networks.
  • Methods to improve the privacy and reliability of the mobile ad-hoc networks for defence applications.
  • Automatic bandwidth reservation using the internet of things and smart ad-hoc networks.
  • Design and development of real-time multiple access ad-hoc network adaptation systems.
