A key based cache replacement policy for cooperative caching in mobile ad hoc networks

Cooperative caching in mobile ad hoc networks aims at improving the efficiency of information access by reducing access latency and bandwidth usage. Cache replacement policy plays a vital role in improving the performance of a cache in a mobile node since it has limited memory. In this paper we propose a new key based cache replacement policy called E-LRU for cooperative caching in ad hoc networks. The proposed scheme for replacement considers the time interval between the recent references, size and consistency as key factors for replacement. Simulation study shows that the proposed replacement policy can significantly improve the cache performance in terms of cache hit ratio and query delay

A virtual backbone based approach for cooperative caching in mobile ad hoc networks

Cache look up is an integral part of cooperative caching in ad hoc networks. In this paper, we discuss a cooperative caching architecture with a distributed cache look up protocol which relies on a virtual backbone for locating and accessing data within a cooperate cache. Our proposal consists of two phases: (i) formation of a virtual backbone and (ii) the cache look up phase. The nodes in a Connected Dominating Set (CDS) form the virtual backbone. The cache look up protocol makes use of the nodes in the virtual backbone for effective data dissemination and discovery. The idea in this scheme is to reduce the number of nodes involved in cache look up process, by constructing a CDS that contains a small number of nodes, still having full coverage of the network. We evaluated the effect of various parameter settings on the performance metrics such as message overhead, cache hit ratio and average query delay. Compared to the previous schemes the proposed scheme not only reduces message overhead, but also improves the cache hit ratio and reduces the average delay

A location aided cooperative caching protocol for mobile ad hoc networks

Cooperative caching is an attractive solution for reducing bandwidth demands and network latency in mobile ad hoc networks. Deploying caches in mobile nodes can reduce the overall traffic considerably. Cache hits eliminate the need to contact the data source frequently, which avoids additional network overhead. In this paper we propose a data discovery and cache management policy for cooperative caching, which reduces the caching overhead and delay by reducing the number of control messages flooded in to the network. A cache discovery process based on location of neighboring nodes is developed for this. The cache replacement policy we propose aims at increasing the cache hit ratio. The simulation results gives a promising result based on the metrics of studies

PEER TO PEER CACHE RESOLUTION MECHANISM FOR MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS

In this paper we investigate the problem of cache resolution in a mobile peer to peer ad hoc network. In our vision cache resolution should satisfy the following requirements: (i) it should result in low message overhead and (ii) the information should be retrieved with minimum delay. In this paper, we show that these goals can be achieved by splitting the one hop neighbours in to two sets based on the transmission range. The proposed approach reduces the number of messages flooded in to the network to find the requested data. This scheme is fully distributed and comes at very low cost in terms of cache overhead. The experimental results gives a promising result based on the metrics of studies.

La doctrina de la empresa criminal conjunta en los tribunales ad hoc y su ámbito de aplicación en el Estatuto de Roma

El primer fallo de la Corte Penal Internacional ha confirmado que el Artículo 25(3) del Estatuto de Roma se basa en la teoría del dominio del hecho para hacer la distinción entre autoría y participación. Por el contrario, desde 2003, la jurisprudencia de los tribunales ad hoc construye el concepto de coautoría con base en la doctrina de la empresa criminal conjunta y emplea un criterio subjetivo de autor. En el presente texto analizaremos primero los problemas planteados por esta línea jurisprudencial de los tribunales ad hoc,para proseguir con el análisis del artículo del Estatuto de Roma que más parece asemejarse a la doctrina de la empresa criminal conjunta :el Artículo 25 (3) (d). El documento concluye que ninguna de las categorías de la empresa criminal conjunta tiene cabida en dicha disposición.

Conferencia ad hoc sobre la educación de los emigrantes.

La 'Conferencia ah hoc sobre la educación de los emigrantes', se celebró bajo los auspicios del Consejo de Europa y de la Conferencia permanente de Ministros europeos de Educación, en Estrasburgo en noviembre de 1974, con asistencia de representantes de diecinueve países europeos y de organismos internacionales tales como la UNESCO y la OCDE. Esta Conferencia tenía como objetivos establecer unas conclusiones y recomendaciones sobre las acciones a emprender en este campo desde un punto de vista nacional, bilateral y multilateral. Las propuestas giraron en torno a: mejorar la situación de emigrantes y su familia, sobre todo en el plano educativo, a la llegada del país de acogida; dar garantías en materia de educación antes y durante el período de escolaridad obligatoria y proporcionar también garantías en materia de formación profesional, formación técnica y educación general de adultos y adolescentes. Las resoluciones adoptadas en la Conferencia a este respecto, fueron: 1. La mejora de la situación del emigrante y de su familia a su llegada al país de recepción, particularmente en el plano de la educación. 2. Garantías en materia de educación antes y después del periodo de escolaridad obligatoria en el país de recepción. 3. Garantías en materia de Formación Profesional, de Formación Técnica y de educación general de adultos y adolescentes.

Supporting ad hoc collaborations in peer-to-peer networks

Traditionally, applications and tools supporting collaborative computing have been designed only with personal computers in mind and support a limited range of computing and network platforms. These applications are therefore not well equipped to deal with network heterogeneity and, in particular, do not cope well with dynamic network topologies. Progress in this area must be made if we are to fulfil the needs of users and support the diversity, mobility, and portability that are likely to characterise group work in future. This paper describes a groupware platform called Coco that is designed to support collaboration in a heterogeneous network environment. The work demonstrates that progress in the p development of a generic supporting groupware is achievable, even in the context of heterogeneous and dynamic networks. The work demonstrates the progress made in the development of an underlying communications infrastructure, building on peer-to-peer concept and topologies to improve scalability and robustness.

An enhanced relay-enabled medium access control protocol for wireless ad hoc networks

In this paper we propose an enhanced relay-enabled distributed coordination function (rDCF) for wireless ad hoc networks. The idea of rDCF is to use high data rate nodes to work as relays for the low data rate nodes. The relay helps to increase the throughput and lower overall blocking time of nodes due to faster dual-hop transmission. rDCF achieves higher throughput over IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF). The protocol is further enhanced for higher throughput and reduced energy. These enhancements result from the use of a dynamic preamble (i.e. using short preamble for the relay transmission) and also by reducing unnecessary overhearing (by other nodes not involved in transmission). We have modeled the energy consumption of rDCF, showing that rDCF provides an energy efficiency of 21.7% at 50 nodes over 802.11 DCF. Compared with the existing rDCF, the enhanced rDCF (ErDCF) scheme proposed in this paper yields a throughput improvement of 16.54% (at the packet length of 1000 bytes) and an energy saving of 53% at 50 nodes.

Modelling energy consumption of relay-enabled MAC protocols in ad hoc networks

To enhance the throughput of ad hoc networks, dual-hop relay-enabled transmission schemes have recently been proposed. Since in ad hoc networks throughput is normally related to their energy consumption, it is important to examine the impact of using relay-enabled transmissions on energy consumption. In this paper, we present an analytical energy consumption model for dual-hop relay-enabled medium access control (MAC) protocols. Based on the recently reported relay-enabled distributed coordination function (rDCF), we have shown the efficacy of the proposed analytical model. This is a generalized model and can be used to predict energy consumption in saturated relay-enabled ad hoc networks via energy decomposition. This is helpful in designing MAC protocols for cooperative communications and it is shown that using a relay results not only in a better throughput but also better energy efficiency.
