Decentralized Dynamic Load Balancing and Intersection Trust in Mobile Ad Hoc Grids
A mobile ad hoc network is an autonomous system connected
through wireless links. It does not have any fixed infrastructure,
and the mobile nodes in the network coordinate among
themselves for communication. This network can be formed by
heterogeneous mobile devices like laptops, PDAs, cell phones etc.
Highly capable device provides some services to low capability
device and this will bring in a grid environment into the mobile
ad hoc networks. A balanced allocation of load is a critical issue
in such grids, considering its limitations in terms of power and
availability. A decentralized approach is favored for a dispersed
functioning of the grid, without draining a single chosen node. It
is also essential to augment the resource allocation with an
effective authorization mechanism, as the ad hoc grids lack
permanent trusted central authority.
In this paper, dynamic virtual organizations are constructed
within this grid based on the resource commonalities of devices.
