Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the Virtual Base Station On-demand (VBS-O) routing protocol [7, 8] for wireless mobile ad hoc communications, which built on top of any mobile infrastructure protocol, the Warning Energy Aware Clusterhead (WEAC) infrastructure protocol [11, 12] in this paper. The WEAC protocol establishes a dynamic wireless mobile infrastructure to mimic the operation of the fixed infrastructure in cellular networks. In the WEAC protocol, a mobile station is elected from a set of nominees, based on its energy level, to act as temporary base station within its zone. Mobile stations elected as VBSs are used to track other mobile stations in the ad hoc network. VBS-O routing algorithm utilizes the mobility-tracking mechanism of the WEAC infrastructure creation protocol to route the packets. The VBS-O architecture complying with QoS guarantees imposes the use of a MAC method that guarantees the successful transmission of packets under high mobility and/or heavy load circumtances, and hence meets the QoS constraints dictated by the communications application.
