Autonomic Architecture for Wireless Routing Protocols

Anis Ben Arbia Habib Youssef

A Special Volume of the 7th International Computing Conference in Arabic, 31 May-2 June 2011, Saudi Arabia.

Abstract This paper introduced an autonomic architecture, ) (

which is Selfadaptable, Self manageable,
Self-Configurable and Self-protectable. The architecture .
is designed to help better orchestrate node cooperation in

carrying their various network activities (e.g. routing).
The architecture is evaluated using the AODV routing ) (
protocol as a test case. The architecture is deployed by an . .
internal agent called RLA (Routing Learning Agent). Each '' ''
mobile node has an RLA installed locally in order to :
dynamically adapt its routing decisions. An RLA is able to
.
observe routing traffic, analyze it, and intervene on the
local node routing table. Thus, the RLAs enable the :
corresponding network node self adjust their routing
.
decisions to changing network state. Extensive simulation
results show that the proposed autonomic protocol
(AODV) noticeably outperforms the original AODV with
respect to traffic overhead, quality of routes, and packet
delivery ratio. In a future work, we will be extending and
evaluating the architecture in improving other network .
operations and mechanisms, as well as other routing .
protocols.

Keywords Ad hoc Networks Routing Protocols .

Logic).
