The mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) represent a broad area of study and market interest. They provide a wide set of applications in multiple domains. In that context, the functional and non-functional monitoring of these networks is crucial. For that purpose, monitoring techniques have been deeply studied in wired networks using gossip-based or hierarchical-based approaches. However, when applied to a MANET, several problematics arise mainly due to the absence of a centralized administration, the inherent MANETs constraints and the nodes mobility. In this paper, we present a hybrid distributed monitoring architecture for mobile ad-hoc networks in context of mobility pattern. We get inspired of gossip-based and hierarchical-based algorithms for query dissemination and data aggregation. We define gossip-based mechanisms that help our virtual hierarchical topology to complete the data aggregation, and then ensure the stability and robustness of our approach in dynamic environments. Further, we propose a fully distributed monitoring protocol that ease the nodes communications. We evaluate our approach through a simulated testbed by using NS3 and Docker, and illustrate the efficiency of our mechanisms.

We introduce a novel decentralized monitoring algorithm for mobile ad-hoc networks. This algorithm is a combination of gossip-based and tree-based approaches. Its main feature is on multi root nodes selection which provides an opportunity to obtain more accurate results as it maximizes the coverage of the network. Our proposal relies on a thorough defined algorithm and its efficient and effective implementation. The algorithm is divided in two main parts that are its query procedure and its disseminate procedure. To assess different parameters such as accuracy and convergence time, we conducted experiments with an in-house emulated test bed based on Docker and NS3. To show the effectiveness and scalability of our proposal, we conduct intensive emulations that demonstrate very promising results regarding the gain of accuracy.
