GROUP MUTUAL EXCLUSION IN OPPORTUNISTIC NETWORK

📄 Project Abstract

Opportunistic Network is an interesting development in Mobile ad hoc Network (MANET) environment and a promising technology in achieving the vision of pervasive computing. The Opportunistic network [16] is designed from mobile wireless network devices that have good sensing capabilities, good memory, and short radio transmission functionality. These devices are usually carried by human, animal, vehicles, among many others. The exceptions in Opportunistic Network such as network failure, node failure and infrequent node contact mostly result from battery failure and power management of these devices. Regardless, the mobility of these devices is used as an advantage to create an Opportunistic net-work. The mobility nature of these wireless devices is utilized to create communication between nodes when route connecting them never exited or there is no direct contact with the internet. The network is usually partitioned into regions; nodes are interconnected by operating in a store-carry f...
