Abstract

Many fields of research are concerned with pervasive computing, e.g., location-tracking, ubicomp functionalities and MANET transmission strategies. In spite of all intense research put in these sub-fields [1-60], their merging still lies along a long way ahead before yielding useful results. More distinctly here, the exertion of location-aware transmission strategies is envisioned to enhance energy management in ubicomp. Such enhancements expected [1] encompass improvements in location accuracy and refresh rates, the application of land-based GPS systems, development of better protocols optimised for transmission according to distance criteria and fine-tuning the precision of the distance criteria to apply the protocol. The know-how of distance coverages by transmitted packets in ubicomp environments and corresponding variations over different node densities, is assuredly profitable for refining transmission protocols in MANETs. One particular empirical study was carried out formerly [29] in which the metric Range CBR Distance, R_CBR_Dis, was exposed. This was further substantiated by a successive study [45] in which trends of parameters of equations for metric R_CBR_Dist were analysed
