An efficient leader election protocol for mobile networks
Azzedine Boukerche, Kaouther Abrougui · 2006
In this paper, we present a leader election protocol that works under frequent network changes and node mobility. Our proposed protocol, which operates well in ad hoc networks, is based on electing a unique node that outperforms all the other nodes in a cluster identified by our protocol. We discuss our protocol and present an illustrative example to show how our proposed scheme works in a mobile network. We also show how our algorithm succeeds in electing a unique leader in a mobile ad hoc network environment.
