Performance Analysis of Proactive and Reactive Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad-hoc Grid in e-health Applications

The integration of mobile wireless devices into grids has recently drawn the attention of research community as this integration has resulted in new challenges. Mobile grid enables the mobility of a requesting user to share unused available resources on a network required in different applications in science, health and education. These handheld devices are not capable to cope with the existing demands of networks and applications. Heterogeneous interfaces, computational power, storage and display differences among these devices demands more research. In this paper we present analysis of different routing protocolpsilas behavior in a mobile ad-hoc grid environment, where best routing is the requirement of a grid application. These analyses were made based on a test scenario of e-health application in a mobile ad-hoc grid environment.
