SMALL WORLD APPLICATION LAYER FOR AD HOC NETWORKS

The proliferation of mobile devices and the development of ad hoc networks introduce the possibility of an environment where multiple entities will participate in collaborative applications with each other. The main application of wireless mobile ad hoc networks is to offer services for situations wherein groups of people come together and share information. The groups of people that use the ad hoc network form some kind of real social network that exhibits small world properties. In this paper we propose a small world application layer for ad hoc networks. The performances of ad hoc networks are illustrated using several newly introduced performance metrics.
