An Efficient FB Addressing Protocol for Auto configuration of Ad Hoc Networks
Kg Mohanavalli, P. Nageswara Rao, R. P. Prem Anand · 2014
Address assignment is a main challenge in ad hoc networks due to the lack of groundwork. Selfdetermining addressing protocols require a distributed and automatic mechanism to avoid address collisions in a aggressive network with paling channels, usual partitions, and adding/deleting nodes. We propose and evaluate a lightweight protocol that configures mobile ad hoc nodes based on a shared address database stored in filters that decreases the control load and makes the proposal potent to packet losses and network partitions. We evaluate the achievement of our protocol, considering adding nodes, partition merging events, and network declaration. Simulation results show that our protocol resolves all the address collisions and also decreases the control traffic when compared to previously proposed protocols.
