Distributed Wireless Networks based on Mobile Agents Paradigm

摘要

Wireless networking has recently witnessed a lot of interest from consumers far its applications in mobile and personal communications. The most important feature of wireless networks is mobility support However, low and variable bandwidth, high latency, variable transmission delays, and intermittent or unreliable network connections are often encountered in wireless environments. Therefore, a wireless link creates problems for services, which are designed to operate with fast and reliable network connections. In the traditional client-server paradigm, network applications either require a continuous connection between the client and server, or are forced to stall between steps while the connection is down. We consider in this paper the use of mobile agents that support intermittent network connectivity, can reduce latency, and save bandwidth.
