Abstract:
Service discovery protocols for mobile ad hoc networks at-
tempt to overcome the inability to locate resources presented by networks
in which prior knowledge of node identity and capability is not available.
Existing approaches continue to rely on underlying address-based rout-
ing protocols in order to communicate with discovered services. These
two-tier approaches generate routing overheads which negatively impact
on performance and network scalability.
As high-powered mobile computing devices with wireless connectivity be-
come increasingly ubiquitous, the need for routing protocols which can
operate at increased network densities becomes more acute. Cross-layer
approaches to service discovery in MANETs have attempted to optimize
the discovery process through direct integration with underlying rout-
ing protocols, however additional steps are necessary to improve service
discovery performance, network scalability and application throughput.
This paper describes the Service Discovery and Routing Protocol (SDRP),
a novel service-oriented routing protocol for MANETs. This protocol es-
chews the use of network-wide unique addresses or underlying address-
based routing protocols and focuses instead on routing only to and from
nodes which provide services. A comparison with existing approaches
demonstrates that this approach improves discovery success rates and
application throughput at higher node densities.
