Abstract :
Abstract - Policy-based Network Management (PBNM) in
the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) requires additional
reliable and efficient mechanism over PBNM in wired
networks. It is important that the management system in
MANETs should cluster the moving nodes and manage their
movements in an effective manner. In this paper, we propose
a mechanism for the policy-based management in ad hoc
networks in which we discuss methods to discover the Policy
Decision Point (PDP), set the management area, and manage
the movements of nodes in the PBNM system. Moreover,
COPS-PR is extended for the mechanism. Finally, we discuss
the results through simulations.
