Research of Synchronous Leader Election Algorithm on Hierarchy Ad Hoc Network
Zhang Yu · 2010
In recent years,ad hoc network is widely studied and used because of its convenient,rapid and infrastructure-free characteristics.However,due to the node mobility and network performance,cluster leader node may be lost,which will affect the communication severely.This paper mainly researched on the architecture of hierarchy ad hoc network and designed high-level synchronous algorithm according to the features of poor mobility of high-level node.Based on that,the leader election system in hierarchy ad hoc network is finally designed and implemented.The experiment proved that when there exists a vice president node generated in previous election round,the leader-elected time is extraordinary reduced.Further more,this algorithm can also be used in small-scale ad hoc video conference for giving solutions to host loss and host alternation.
