MAQ system development in mobile ad-hoc networks using mobile agents

Abstract

To furnish protected and efficient routine activities in cluster based Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs), a Mobile Agent based QoS (MAQ) scheme using clustering algorithm for real time data communication has been designed in this paper. A Mobile agent architecture is projected in a way that it remains associated with the cluster head of every cluster and when real time application gets notified in these clusters then the proposed system gets activated to hold up prioritized service to these applications including checking and monitoring the flow qualities for real time applications. JADE (Java Agent Development Environment) based prioritized proposal at the mobile agent has been implemented in the proposed system. As this is an application oriented approach, so the overall network performance significantly improves resulting better throughput and packet delivery ratio. Prioritized functionalities relating to end-to-end delay, jitter in video streaming and power saving policies during real-time data transmission are controlled by operational modules defined in the mobile agent.
