A Novel Recovery Strategy for Service Interruption in Ubiquitous Stub Environment

Abstract

In ubiquitous stub environment, several mobile devices can work cooperatively to provide efficient and reliable service. But device movement or failure usually causes service interruption. How to recover the service path quickly and enhance the user experience greatly is an important problem. This paper presents a novel recovery strategy to resolve the problem. First of all, the strategy conducts the local service recovery process. If it fails, the strategy will use the global service recovery process. Several key factors affecting recovery process are adopted in the strategy. Compared with other similar strategies in simulation experiment, the failure rate and service time of this strategy is lower than the others. So this novel strategy has a better performance.
