Abstract: MANET transmission strategies coupled with location-awareness is welcome in ubicomp [1-45] and hence remain good topics of research. The success of these strategies depend heavily on the correct protocol designs being adopted. Current research attempts assume present methods for protocol design as heuristic in nature [83] and hence not so suitable for “correct the first time implementations”. Optimisation methods for tuning parameters in middleware services and applications [84] is needed and suitability of traditional layered architecture in networking is also questioned [85] in terms of QoS and node densities. A further aim in this direction is to achieve realism in design and evaluation of wireless routing protocols [86]. This can be enhanced towards predictability in ubicomp. Achieving realism is a very long process since it will involve realism in each aspect concerned with ubicomp. Such an aspect was studied in a previous research [14] to assess the trend of energy savings achiev

Abstract: Two promising avenues in the field of ubicomp are MANET transmission strategies and location-aware transmission [1-46]. The merging of these two fields is bound to lead to betterment in ubicomp and justifies the amounts of research involved. One factor, over which success of these strategies depend, is correct protocols designs. Current research attempts are claimed to be unsuitable for “correct the first time implementations” [84] because present methods for protocol design are heuristic in nature. Middleware services and applications are also subject to optimisation methods [85]. Novel network architecture for ubicomp is also felt needed to suit QoS and adaptability to node densities [86]. A longer term objective in this direction is to achieve realism in design and evaluation of wireless routing protocols [87]. Such direction of research will also entail more precise features for predictability in ubicomp. Achieving realism is a tedious process since it involves realism in every asp
