Application of Autonomous Mobile Agents to Provide Security in Wireless Networks 1

The designs of wireless networks are constantly challenged by the ever changing network configurations due to node mobility in addition to propagation impairments and interference in wireless channels. In order to meet these challenges, networking solutions should incorporate distributed intelligence that enables network nodes to autonomously adapt to changes in networking environments and network configurations. By propagating mobile agents (software codes) to mobile nodes for execution and allowing them to spawn new agents for propagation to other nodes, mobile agents can provide an effective solution for these challenges. The existing wireless network management schemes follow a centralized approach and the process of data gathering and analysis usually involves huge transfer of management data. Consequently, this generates congestion in the area around management stations and it causes lack of scalability. There is the need to have a model for distributed and intelligent network management. Additionally, wireless connections can be lost or degraded by mobility. The mobile agent technology offers very promising solution to this problem. Mobile agents can analyze data and make decisions in order to preserve the reliability and quality of service in the wireless network.
