Management in Centralized MANET’s using Layered Coding Techniques

Abstract

The resource utilization problem has been considered broadly over wired and wireless networks and it is known to be NP hard. However, due to the high mobility of peers and current network conditions, the resource allocation problem is common issue. Most of the carried research considers streaming the videos to the destination node using a single source and without implementing any coding techniques which introduces huge playback issue. Moreover, in the context of MANETs, the resource utilization adds new challenges as nodes are considered to have limited energy with a highly dynamic topology. This paper explores and compares the resource utilization problems over MANETs using coding techniques and energy efficient routing algorithms to efficiently utilize the available resources in the network.
