Abstract

Numerous papers that study ad hoc networks have used a hierarchical network structure to enhance scalability. The hierarchical structure typically consists of a number of clusters, each of which has its own clusterhead that maintains information. Clusterheads often need to exchange information among themselves in order to maintain information, and for such cases, a mechanism is needed to efficiently deliver information from one clusterhead to another. Here, we proposed a new distributed algorithm in which every node independently makes the decision about whether or not it forwards a received message. We used a simulation to demonstrate that the algorithm developed for this study is a considerable improvement over the control overhead algorithm.

Ad Hoc 네트워크를 연구한 많은 논문들은 확장성을 향상시키기 위해서 계층적 네트워크 구조를 사용하였다. 계층적 구조는 여러 개의 클러스터들로 구성되고 각 클러스터는 모든 클러스터들에 대하여 정보를 관리하는 클러스터헤드를 가진다. 클러스터헤드는 정확한 정보를 유지하기 위하여 그들끼리 정보를 교환할 필요가 있으며 이를 위하여 클러스터헤드가 이웃하는 다른 클러스터헤드들에게 정보를 보낼 수 있는 효율적인 메커니즘이 필요하다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 알고리즘들은 대부분 클러스터헤드가 재전송할 브릿지들을 선정하거나 혹은 부가적인 메시지를 사용하여 재전송 브릿지를 선정하는 메커니즘을 사용하였다. 여기에 제안하는 DSP(Distributed Self-Pruning)알고리즘은 각 노드가 수신한 메시지를 재전송할 것인지에 대하여 독자적으로 판단을 한다. 두 개의 클러스터기반 라우팅 프로토콜에 제안한 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 알고리즘의 적합성을 검증하였다.
