TL;DR
LORD is a leader-based resource discovery framework for mobile device clouds that enhances energy efficiency, balances node participation, and incentivizes selfish nodes to cooperate, outperforming decentralized approaches.
Contribution
We introduce LORD, a novel leader-based resource discovery framework with an energy-aware leader selection and incentive mechanism for selfish nodes in mobile device clouds.
Findings
LORD balances energy consumption among nodes.
LORD prolongs network lifetime compared to decentralized models.
The incentive mechanism motivates selfish node participation.
Abstract
We provide a novel solution for Resource Discovery (RD) in mobile device clouds consisting of selfish nodes. Mobile device clouds (MDCs) refer to cooperative arrangement of communication-capable devices formed with resource-sharing goal in mind. Our work is motivated by the observation that with ever-growing applications of MDCs, it is essential to quickly locate resources offered in such clouds, where the resources could be content, computing resources, or communication resources. The current approaches for RD can be categorized into two models: decentralized model, where RD is handled by each node individually; and centralized model, where RD is assisted by centralized entities like cellular network. However, we propose LORD, a Leader-based framewOrk for RD in MDCs which is not only self-organized and not prone to having a single point of failure like the centralized model, but also…
