Most existing message-oriented middleware for
mobile networks rely on infrastructure or assume the
existence of reliable and continuous connections
among communicating entities. These schemes do not
take advantage of cross-layer optimizations.
Publish/subscribe middleware has been widely used to
provide asynchronous communication functionality in
distributed application environments. Due to node
mobility and frequent node disconnections,
asynchronous publish/subscribe message middleware
is a proper communication model for mobile ad hoc
networking environments. In this paper, we propose a
MOBility-aware and CROSS-layer based middleware
(MOBCROSS) for mobile ad hoc networks.
MOBCROSS is based on the publishing and
subscription of topics. The main features of
MOBCROSS are mobility awareness, network
reconfiguration, and cross-layer interaction support.
The performance of the middleware is evaluated in a
simulation environment. The simulation results
indicated that MOBCROSS achieves a good packet
delivery ratio and low overhead.
