"A Novel Approach for Dynamic Address Autoconfiguration in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks"

A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is an infrastructure-less, spontaneous, and arbitrary multi-hop wireless network, consisting of group of mobile nodes. The topology of the network can change randomly due to unpredictable mobility of nodes. In order to allow truly spontaneous and infrastructure-less networking, a protocol for dynamic allocation of unique addresses is needed, because pre-configuration of addresses is not a possibility and every node must configure its network interface with a unique address in order to communicate with other nodes so that the packets can be relayed hop by hop and delivered ultimately to the destination. Allocating addresses in mobile ad hoc network is a challenging task. In recent years, various address autoconfiguration protocols have been proposed in the literature to solve this problem. But, address autoconfiguration in mobile ad hoc networks is still an unresolved issue. The main task of an address autoconfiguration protocol is to manage the resource address space. When a node leaves the network, the corresponding address must eventually be deallocated to prevent exhaustion of the address space. This paper proposes a novel method to solve the problem of dynamic address autoconfiguration of mobile ad hoc networks using variable length addressing scheme. Network partitioning and merging as well as duplicate address detection are well supported by our approach.
