Abstract

In this paper, a new system design for load services in computer networks with a new reputation system is constructed. The use of the reputation system is to address the free-rider problem. Database systems are used by directory agents to save information provided by load-server agents. Protocols are built for how a host finds available servers for load service or load transfer, especially when a host moves to a new region. Detailed procedures include how a directory agent builds its database, how a load-server agent provides services, and how a load-client agent receives its desired services. The system uses the fuzzy logic control method to transfer loads for load balancing, instead of the method of a fixed threshold level. For an ad-hoc (wireless) computer network framework, this new system structure is aimed to provide efficient ways for hosts to communicate with one another and to access resources in the system. This will also help the users of networks locate resources in a most effective and secure manner.

Highlights

  • Computer networks provide parallel computation and services

  • I describe how a load-client agent should pay the load-server agents that it requests services from, how hosts in the system gain tokens to pay for the services it needs, and lastly how loads are transferred between load-server agents and load-client agents

  • 4) If no available hosts exist within the range of the load-client agent, the load-client agent sends request to its directory agents to look for registered load-server agents for load transfer

Summary

Introduction

Computer networks provide parallel computation and services. It is important that hosts send their loads to other hosts for certain function implementation through network transfer. Maab [3] develops a location information server for location-aware applications based on the X.500 directory service and the lightweight directory access protocol LDAP [4] It does not address certain important issues regarding the movements of mobile hosts such as how to generate a new directory service, how a host receives new services, and when a directory agent moves away from its original region. How to provide load services and how to find available hosts to fulfill load service requests are valuable topics in an ad-hoc network system. I construct a system structure for load services with reputation checking in wireless ad-hoc network systems using the peer-to-peer concept [8] [9].
