Performance analysis for use of mobile agent in wireless multihop networks

In wireless multihop networks, each of terminals exchanges control message in a distributed manner for network processes such as routing. However, such a distributed control is not efficient under the situation where the terminals move freely and network topology often changes dynamically. In this situation it degrades network performance. Therefore, the author's group has proposed an efficient use of mobile agent with the aim of performance improvement in the wireless multihop networks. In this paper, the performance about efficiency of use of the mobile agent is theoretically analyzed.
