Forecasting Residual Link Lifetime in MANET

Abstract

We have studied the estimation of residual link lifetime (RLL) in mobile Adhoc networks (MANETs) using the distances between the links of nodes. First of all, we need to demonstarte that to compute uniquely the RLL; at least four distance measurements are required. We also revealed that random measurement errors are the dominant factor in prediction in accuracy and that systematic errors are always negligible. We then suggested a mobile projected trajectory (MPT) algorithm that estimates the correlative path between two nodes from periodical measurements of the distances between nodes.
