Proficient ID Allocation for MANETs
Keywords:
Robustness Identification Scheme (RIS); id allocation; filter; MANETAbstract
A Mobile Adhoc Network (MANETs) is a self-configuring and de-centralized network. The
nodes in the MANETs are dynamic in nature, which are communicating through the wireless
links. Owing to lack of infrastructure, many situations like partitioning, merging, node
joining and leaving occurs in the MANETs. Because of these situations, id allocation
becomes a severe issue in the MANETs. The proposed method – Robustness identification
scheme (RIS) will resolve address conflict while partitioning and merging of networks. The
RIS makes use of filter for allocating id, which resolves id conflicts. The hash of the filter is a
signature of the network, which is used as a network partition identifier.
