On Self-Organization in MANETs
Prof. Jie Wu, Florida Atlantic University
Abstract
The dynamic nature and network complexity of MANETs requires self organization to reduce the administrative need and complexity in network installation, maintenance, and management. We first show several network functions of MANETs that can be designed in a self-organized way, including topology control and the construction of connected dominating sets (CDS). An in-depth study of a self-organized scheme for CDS construction and the use of CDS for efficient broadcast in MANETs is presented. This scheme selects a small subset of nodes locally to form a forward node set to carry out the broadcast process. Various design options and trade-offs are also discussed. Finally, we show that our design coincidentally meets the Prehofer and Bettstetter's four design paradigms recently proposed for developing a self-organized network function.
