An Efficient and Robust Addressing Protocol for Node
Auto configuration in Ad Hoc Networks
ABSTRACT:
Address assignment is a key challenge in ad hoc
networks due to the lack of infrastructure. Autonomous addressing protocols
require a distributed and self-managed mechanism to avoid address collisions in
a dynamic network with fading channels, frequent partitions, and
joining/leaving nodes. We propose and analyze a lightweight protocol that
configures mobile ad hoc nodes based on a distributed address database stored
in filters that reduces the control load and makes the proposal robust to
packet losses and network partitions. We evaluate the performance of our
protocol, considering joining nodes, partition merging events, and network
initialization. Simulation results show that our protocol resolves all the
address collisions and also reduces the control traffic when compared to
previously proposed protocols.
