A hierarchical address auto-configuration scheme for Ad Hoc network
Jun Ji Wu, Pla Uni · Journal of Naval University of Engineering · 2009
A hierarchical structure scheme was proposed for dynamic allocation of addresses in Ad Hoc networks.In this scheme,new nodes obtained IP addresses from the leader node via agent nodes.Ant colony algorithm was used to optimize the selection of the agent node.The problem of leader failure was resolved by backing up the address in used table in some nodes.MANET Conf approach and ODACP approach were compared with the approach proposed.The simulation results show that the scheme can ensure the timely assignment of unique addresses with lower overhead;the performance of simulation system by proposed scheme does not descend rapidly with increased network size,which indicates that the scheme has better scalability in both latency and overhead.
