User Cooperative Mobility for Higher QoS in Ad Hoc Network: Framework and Evaluation

This paper describes a framework and evaluation results for user cooperative mobility control in ad hoc networks and the research results already achieved. In order for ad hoc networks as extended D2D communications to be a good complement to 5G and Beyond 5G cellular networks, further improvements for ad hoc networks in communication performance are needed. User cooperative mobility control is a method that does not require any changes on existing protocols or devices but can improve the performance simply by moving users having ad hoc network node devices. However, in practical implementation, influenced by factors such as network architecture (WLAN, ad hoc network), topology (dynamic, static), mobility cost, etc., this paper presents an overall control framework to achieve higher QoS. Within this framework, the characteristics of user cooperative mobility control in different factors and scenarios are analyzed in detail. The results that have been achieved are shown. This work will contribute to the design and development of higher QoS for future mobile smart devices, particularly in the context of autonomous driving and AR/XR.
