Abstract

MANET transmission strategies coupled with location-awareness is welcome in ubicomp [1-45] and hence remain good topics of research. The success of these strategies depend heavily on the correct protocol designs being adopted. Current research attempts assume present methods for protocol design as heuristic in nature [83] and hence not so suitable for “correct the first time implementations”. Optimisation methods for tuning parameters in middleware services and applications [84] is needed and suitability of traditional layered architecture in networking is also questioned [85] in terms of QoS and node densities. A further aim in this direction is to achieve realism in design and evaluation of wireless routing protocols [86]. This can be enhanced towards predictability in ubicomp. Achieving realism is a very long process since it will involve realism in each aspect concerned with ubicomp. Such an aspect was studied in a previous research [14] to assess the trend of energy savings achievable by sender node (SES) in Location-Aware MANET Transmission, followed by the study of trends for each SES parameter of equations [30].
