Link State Prediction based Topology Maintenance in multi-channel MANET
Jinxin Niu, Guo Wei · 2013
The random movement of nodes in multi-channel MANETs has significant impact upon the stability of network topology due to connection loss and co-channel interference. To solve this problem, a Link State Prediction based Topology Maintenance algorithm (LSPTM) is proposed, which adjusts nodes' power levels and transmission channels according to the link state predicted by a probabilistic network, so as to maintain the stability of links and network topology. Simulation results show that the algorithm effectively reduces the chances of connection loss or co-channel interference.
