Title High Level MANET Protocol: Enhancing the Communication Support for Mobile Collaborative Work
Authors Juan Rodríguez-Covili, Sergio Ochoa, José A. Pino
Publication date January 2012
Abstract Mobile collaborative activities involve on-demand interactions among
nomad users. Unavailability of
communication support in the physical scenario where users are located
cannot be a limitation to carry
out such collaboration instances. Mobile workers can take advantage of
the communication capability
embedded in their mobile devices in order to create communication
channels between them. The
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET) are infrastructures that can be used to
support the nomad users?
activities. However, these networks have a short communication
threshold; therefore, they need to
include a routing protocol as part of its infrastructure to allow
mobile workers to collaborate when they
are not physically close. This paper presents an application level
routing protocol that was designed to
support nomad workers performing mobile collaborative activities. The
protocol, named High Level
MANET Protocol (HLMP), provides several automatic services that are
required by mobile collaborative
systems. Some of these services are the automatic MANET formation,
peer detection and messages
routing. HLMP has been implemented in a mobile communication
infrastructure and used in several
mobile groupware systems.
