A probabilistic approach of mobile router selection algorithm in dynamic moving networks

A dynamic moving network with unspecified multiple mobile routers or dynamic mobile routers may causes difficult problems in terms of stability and reliability in the moving networks. We assume that a user terminal such as cellular phone can be a mobile router in a dynamic moving network. The selection and maintenance of mobile routers should be very important issue like in this scenario in order to support reliable communication channels to internal nodes. In the selection of representative mobile routers, the staying time of a mobile router should be one of essential factors, e.g. battery power and network capacity. It, however, is not easy to estimate the staying time of each mobile router and candidate to be selected. We propose the staying time prediction algorithm of a dynamic mobile router according to the variable status of dynamic moving network. In this approach, the proposed algorithm is based on gathered statistical data as a probabilistic approach in order to estimate the staying time of a mobile router. Finally simulation results will show the accuracy of the probability.
