Reactive file sharing based on the prediction of server mobility in MANET-real time analysis

We have developed a mobility prediction algorithm that reflects in a customized AODV designed for k-hop dominating set file sharing scenario. Mobility of a node is detected based on the received signal strength (RSS) measurements. This measurement serve as a basis for a client to associate with nearest dominating node (file server) to always have access to the files. Our proposed mechanism ensures file availability, reduces the latency to access the shared files hence suitable for time critical applications.
