Continuous energy-efficient monitoring model for mobile ad hoc networks

The monitoring of mobile ad hoc networks is an observation task that consists of analysing the operational status of these networks while evaluating their functionalities. In order to allow the whole network and applications to work properly, the monitoring task has become of considerable importance. It must be carried out in real-time by performing measurements, logs, configurations, etc. However, achieving continuous energy-efficient monitoring in mobile wireless networks is very challenging considering the environment features as well as the unpredictable behavior of the participating nodes. This paper outlines the challenges of continuous energy-efficient monitoring over mobile ad hoc n…
