Movement guided management of topology (MGMT) with balanced load in mobile ad hoc networks

To reduce energy consumption, nodes in ad hoc networks generally move according to a pre-established schedule of network traffic and movement patterns of uplink and downlink neighbors. While some of them may go to sleep at times, one suitable alternative is to remain in active mode in order to bridge the gap between the uplink and downlink neighbors of the sleeping node. The main challenge of selecting which node should stay in active mode and...
