Designing a Routing Protocol for Ubiquitous Networks Using ECA Scheme

摘要

We have designed a novel Event-Condition-Action (ECA) scheme based Ad hoc On-demandDistance Vector(ECA-AODV) routing protocol for a Ubiquitous Network (UbiNet). ECA-AODVis designed to make routing decision dynamically and quicker response to dynamic networkconditions as and when event occur. ECA scheme essentially consists of three modules to makeruntime routing decision quicker. First, event module receive event that occur in a UbiNet andsplit up event into event type and event attributes. Second, condition module obtain event detailsfrom event module split up each condition into condition attributes that matches event and firethe rule as soon as condition hold. Third, action module make runtime decisions based on eventobtained and condition applied. We have simulated and tested the designed ECA scheme byconsidering ubiquitous museum environment as a case study with nodes range from 10 to 100.The simulation results show the time efficient with minimal operations.
