Research and optimization for the competition mechanism of distributed multi-hop cooperative networks

Distributed multi-hop cooperative network is a new network architecture that can solve the last mile bottleneck problem, with larger network coverage, higher reliability, higher utilization, self-configuring and self-healing. The competition mechanism is one of the key mechanisms that affects the performance of Distributed multi-hop cooperative networks. This paper focuses on the research of the Distributed multi-hop cooperative network competing mechanism. Regarding the fairness problem in existing Mesh Election algorithms, this paper puts forward an improved Mesh Election algorithm. Simulation is conducted on based on NS2 platform to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
