In mobile ad hoc networks, nodes move freely and link/node failures are common. This leads to frequent network partitions, which may significantly degrade the performance of data access in ad hoc networks. When the network partition occurs, mobile nodes in one network are not able to access data hosted by nodes in other networks. In this paper, we deal with this problem by applying data replication techniques. Existing data replication solutions in both wired or wireless networks aim at either reducing the query delay or improving the data accessibility. As both metrics are important for mobile nodes, we propose schemes to balance the tradeoffs between data accessibility and query delay under different system settings and requirements. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes can achieve a balance between these two metrics and provide satisfying system performance.
