Resource Discovery in Ad hoc Networks

TLDR
This paper presents a two-stage protocol to solve the resource discovery problem in ad hoc networks: how hosts discover what resources are available in the network and how they discover how to use the resources.
Abstract
Much of the current research in mobile networking investigates how to support a mobile user within an established infrastructure of routers and servers. Ad hoc networks come into play when no such established infrastructure exits. This paper presents a two-stage protocol to solve the resource discovery problem in ad hoc networks: how hosts discover what resources are available in the network and how they discover how to use the resources. This protocol does not require any established servers or other infrastructure. It only requires routing capabilities in the network.

Toward Distributed service discovery in pervasive computing environments

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel distributed service discovery protocol based on the concepts of peer-to-peer caching of service advertisements and group-based intelligent forwarding of service requests for pervasive environments.

Ekta: an efficient DHT substrate for distributed applications in mobile ad hoc networks

TL;DR: This paper first study how to efficiently implement DHTs in MANETs, and examines the efficiency of DHT substrates in supporting applications in MANets by examining the performance of a resource discovery application built on top of Ekta with one that directly uses physical layer broadcast.

Piecewise network awareness service for wireless/mobile pervasive computing

TL;DR: Case studies applying the NAS framework to sensor monitoring in home networks and data streaming in pervasive multimedia computing show that it has significant advantages over traditional network-awareness frameworks in terms of reducing wireless bandwidth consumption and saving battery energy of mobile devices.

Integrating service discovery with routing and session management for ad-hoc networks

TL;DR: GSR is proposed: a new routing and session management protocol for ad-hoc networks as an integral part of a service discovery infrastructure that achieves better packet delivery ratio with a minor increase of the average packet delivery delay.

Name resolution in mobile ad-hoc networks

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that most existing reactive routing protocols do not have sufficient capabilities to support bandwidth-efficient name resolution, and a scheme to improve this deficiency is proposed, which interoperates with DNS and multicast DNS (mDNS).

SDP: Session Description Protocol

Mark Handley, +1 more
TL;DR: This document defines the Session Description Protocol, SDP, intended for describing multimedia sessions for the purposes of session announcement, session invitation, and other forms of multimedia session initiation.

Service Location Protocol

TL;DR: Using this protocol, computers using the Internet no longer need so much static configuration of network services for network based applications, which is especially important as computers become more portable, and users less tolerant or able to fulfill the demands of network system administration.

Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name System (DNS UPDATE)

TL;DR: The Domain Name System was originally designed to support queries of a statically configured database, but the frequency of changes was expected to be fairly low, and all updates were made as external edits to a zone's Master File.
