Research on Non-cooperative Topology Inference Method Based on Node Location Information
Zhao Niu, Qiang Li, Tao Ma, Lin Jiang · 2018
Topology is the basis of connectivity analysis and critical nodes identification for Ad Hoc network. The existing methods of topology inference are divided into two types: cooperative and non-cooperative. The cooperative inference methods are usually based on the premise of network access. It usually needs to send a large number of detection packets, and the operation cost is large. The non-cooperative inference methods are usually based on the analysis of a large number of detection data, but the data acquisition is difficult and takes a long time. From the view of coverage, this paper inferred the physical topology of Ad Hoc network with critical transmission distance under the condition that the location information and the number of nodes, the size of the deployment area are known. The simulation results on Exata demonstrate the feasibility of the inference method.
