Abstract

MANET transmission may help in energy containment in ubicomp [59]. This can be enhanced by location-aware transmission strategies and therefore management of energy consumption in ubicomp remains a serious topic of research. In MANETs for ubicomp, nodes present will transmit in an automated collective fashion, thereby sharing the workload. Hence, the ubicomp nodes will themselves be the infrastructure. The situation whereby every node must be providing equitable assistance will be rarely reached. However, the research area remains open : “By how much Fairness reached in a ubicomp deviates from the latter situation reached?”. Such questions remain consequent in situations of cooperative functionality. A previous study in this direction was made [22], whereby a metric BFEA was devised to define “the theoretical equitable energy amount for Fairness” and first metric, ECFP, for Fairness analysis was put forward. In another paper [23], a second metric Min_FP, derived from ECFP, is defined and its corresponding trends over varying node densities are presented. This paper builds further the area of modelling for energy management in ubicomp for designers to assess Fairness characteristics and subsequently better shape future ubicomp components. This paper is a follow-up of previous research [1-23].
