Collision Free Address Assignment for Nodes in Ad Hoc Networks Using FAP

In the ad hoc network the nodes are not in a stable state. They are in moving state. So, whenever the node moves from one partition to another partition the node needs a new address to communicate with in this partition which will be unique and not colloid with the address of the nodes in that partition. In the ad hoc networks, the collision free address assignment is a major problem. So, the IP address assignment for ad hoc nodes requires a distributed procedure to resolves all the address collisions in a dynamic network with channel weakening, recurrent partition, and joining or leaving nodes. The mobility of the nodes in ad hoc network makes frequent network partitions. The node in the ad hoc network needs unique network address to enable routing in multi-hop networks. The joining and leaving node is difficult to make the address assignment. A filter-based addressing protocol is light weight and robust to packet losses for address auto-configuration. We use light weight protocol to address the issues and use robust addressing scheme to shares all nodes in allocated list. The protocol controls a distributed database on filter to reduce the overhead and allow an accurate detection of partition merging. To overcome this problem, we propose a collision free address assignment to resolves all the address collisions and reduce traffic when compared to the other addressing protocols.
