Abstract
This paper focuses on message complexity performance analysis of MANET AAPs in reference to link errors generated by the mobile wireless nodes. To obtain the message complexity performance of AAPs in reference to the link error probability ($P_e$), an enhancement was made by proposing the retransmission limit (S) to be computed for error recovery (based on the link error probability), and then for each of the AAPs the control procedures for the retransmission limit have been properly included. The O-notation has been applied in analyzing the upper bound of the number of messages generated by a MANET group of N nodes. Based on a link error probability range of $P_e=0$ to 0.8, the AAPs investigated in this paper are Strong DAD, Weak DAD with proactive routing protocol (WDP), Weak DAD with on-demand routing protocol (WDO), and MANETconf. Based on the simulation results and analysis of the message complexity, for nominal situations, the message complexity of WDP was lowest, closely followed by WDO. The message complexity of MANETconf is higher than that of WDO, and Strong DAD results to be most complex among the four AAPs.
본 논문에서는 무선 노드의 이동성에 따른 링크 에러로 인한 Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) IP 자동 네트워크 프로토콜(Address Autoconfiguration Protocol: AAP)의 메시지 복잡도를 분석하고자 한다. 링크 에러로 인해 목적지까지 전달되지 못한 메시지는 재전송되어야 하고, 이러한 재전송 횟수 (S)를 링크 에러 확률 ($P_e$)에 따라 계산하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한, O-표기법에 따라 N개의 노드에 의해 발생된 메시지의 Upper Bound를 각 AAP에서 유도하였다. 본 연구에서 검토된 AAP는 Strong Duplicate Address Detection (DAD), Weak DAD with proactive routing protocol (WDP), Weak DAD with on-demand routing protocol (WDO), MANETconf이다. 컴퓨터 기반 시뮬레이션에서, 제안된 알고리즘에 의해 링크 에러가 있을 때, 각 AAP의 성능을 분석해본 결과, WDP가 가장 낮은 메시지 복잡도를 가졌고, MANETconf가 가장 높은 메시지 복잡도를 보였다.
