Abstract
This research paper investigates a wireless network reliability scheme that implements recent research on mobile agents and quality of service (QoS) techniques. Real-time measurements of network characteristics can serve as QoS parameters upon which to base a calculation of a least cost path for routed information on a network. It is described how mobile agents can gather these real-time QoS values from each node in the wireless LAN (WLAN) and then use a management algorithm to determine least cost routes based on these values. This is an ongoing project at Stevens Institute of Technology's Advanced Telecommunications Institute (ATI), and this paper is a starting point for continuing development of efficient network management schemes that are superior to traditional client-server architecture for both wired and wireless networks.
