A Fault Detection Service for Cluster-Based Ad Hoc Network

Ad Hoc Network becomes widely used for many specific fields. In case of frequently happened node failures and message losses, in order to expedite the development of applications, we propose a middleware service for the failure detection to support these applications. Based on the hierarchical-based and Gossip-based detection techniques, a fault detection service for cluster-based Ad Hoc Network integrating the proposed adaptive fault detector is proposed. Simulations show that the proposed detection service achieves a preferable system performance.
