Abstract

The present invention is a method for providing services for a mobile ad hoc network, which includes receiving a service discovery request of a client node of the network. The method further includes directing the service discovery request to at least one node of the mobile ad hoc network. The method further includes receiving a service discovery request response from a node included in the at least one node, the response indicating that a service providing node is present within the network and is capable of providing the requested service. The method further includes determining a data transfer route for connecting the service providing node with the client node. The method further includes transmitting a service reservation request to the service providing node, wherein the service reservation request specifies a future time that a service is to be provided to the client node.
