RAON: a P2P network for MANET

Overlay network has been effectively used in Internet for application deployment. We believe that it is also a good abstraction for application deployment over ad hoc networks because it requires the nodes running an application to maintain the related states while all other nodes only perform networking functions. We propose a P2P system for MANET, RAON, which performs query forwarding decision based on link instability and power constraints. Our simulation results show that RAON improves the success rate and delay of query search as compared to Gia, a competitive system for wired network.
