Abstract:
Mobile ad hoc Networks (MANETs), due to frequent network partition, data availability is lower than that in traditional wired networks. Data divergence provides an attractive solution for this problem. In this paper we propose an approach for maintaining divergence while data diverge from local consistency region to global consistency region in MANETs, in which we will take the data of leaving node. It also maintains replica of data. Here each region has a cluster head that keeps the information of the region. When cluster head diverge from one region to other it keeps the information in itself and copies data to the new formed cluster head. This helps to improve the data availability and overall performance of the network.
