Abstract

Three resource allocation schemes are described for allocation of data-intensive dependent tasks on mobile ad hoc computational Grid. The first resource scheme exploits transmission power control mechanism in order to improve energy efficiency and network capacity while the second resource allocation scheme takes into account the connection quality and network traffic in order to reduce data transfer time. To balance the trade-off between first two schemes a network-aware and power-based resource allocation scheme is proposed which takes into account transmission power and network characteristics in order to make allocation decisions. The relationship between data transfer time and transmission energy consumption has also been investigated in detail. The schemes are validated in a simulated environment using various workloads and parameters.
