Partition Participant Detector with Dynamic Paths in Mobile Networks
Luciana Arantes, Pierre Sens, Gaël Thomas, Denis Conan, Léon Lim · 2010
Mobile ad-hoc networks, MANETs, are self-organized and very dynamic systems where processes have no global knowledge of the system. In this paper, we propose a model that characterizes the dynamics of MANETs in the sense that it considers that paths between nodes are dynamically built and the system can have infinitely many processes but the network may present finite stable partitions. We also propose an algorithm that implements an eventually perfect partition participant detector PD which eventually detects the participant nodes of stable partitions.
