hybrid service discovery is introduced as an efficient service discovery protocol in mobile ad-hoc grid witch has a good compromise between response time and network traffic overhead. In this paper we modify the basic idea of this protocol called Zone. We use multi-level zone in our proposal and called the protocol as multi-level hybrid service discovery protocol. Our algorithm tries to provide the advantage of larger zone with only a little increase of network traffic overhead. We used two levels of zone, inner zone and outer zone which we called internal zone and external zone, respectively. Difference between two zones issued from their advertisement frequency. Simulation results show that our proposed algorithm has better performance in network's traffic and response time than traditional hybrid service discovery protocol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
