Hi, everyone:

When I read the Specification of the Bluetooth System,
I'm a little comfused about the address of Bluetooth
device. Although every bluetooth device has a BD_ADDR
address, the access code of bluetooth packet only
contains the information of LAP field of the BD_ADDR
address.So I wonder if LAP field of the BD_ADDR is
enough to identify different Bluetooth devices, or
if LAP is unique to every bluetooth device, or can
two bluetooth devices have the same LAP address?

Can anyone help me make this clear?


Thanks,

Yong

Yong,

Since the LAP is only a part of the whole unique BD_ADDR, the LAP is not unique in itself. The access code in the beginning of every packet is not there to uniquely identify anything in itself. A device expecting a packet correlates against the access code to find the beginning of the next packet within the piconet. Then the header checksum calculation also makes some use of the BD_ADDR of the master to verify the piconet identity.

Regards,

Johan Sörensen.

Hi Yong,

You are right. Packets in a piconet are identified with the access code derived
from the 24-bit LAP of the master.

However, the FH of the piconet is derived from the master's lower 28-bit BD_ADDR
and the master's 28-bit system clock in the connection state.

I think an LAP with a specific FH is usually enough to identify the piconet
nearby, although some Bluetooth devices can have the same LAP addresses, There
can still theoretically be identical piconets if the masters have the same lower
28-bit of Bluetooth address and if the system clocks are synchronized. Can you
really imagine the situation?

Dear Aihara and Yong,

The access code (which uses LAP)  is not the only thing used when receiving
a packet.  The packet header is also used in deciding whether a packet
belongs to the correct piconet. The HEC in the header uses master's UAP
(page 53 of baseband spec).   The combination of UAP and LAP should make
every piconet unique.

Hi All,

We have developped a MAC protocol for MANETs and have completed the
evaluation and comparison with IEEE 802.11.

As we thought of comparing the scheme with some of the already proposed
MANET MAC schemes, such as MACA-BI, MACA/PR, MACAW... ,  I thought of
asking whether  anyone of you know whether the source code of any of
these schemes is publicly available on the net so that we could directly
perform comparisons with them.

Any response will be highly appreciated.


Regards,
George A.

Hi, All,

Could any of you offer some pointers to the information about "DNS for Ad
hoc networks"?.
It would be greatly appreciated if you would offer your own opinion on this.
My manager
asked me to investigate the development for that regard, but I somehow feel
the saying of "
"DNS for Ad hoc network" itself be an issue to justify.

Thank you all,


Frank

Yohimbe, saw palmetto, avena sativa, androstenedione,
guarana, taurine, siberian ginseng, tribulus terrestris. 
Tribulus Terrestis is certified to enhanced testosterone
levels by increasing Luteinzing hormone (LH) levels. 
Androstenedione which is a precursor to testosterone
unlocks bound testosterone and makes it biologically
active again quickly. This means a dramatic surge in 
desire. Avena Sativa Stimulates the neurotransmitter 
pleasure centers to maximum capacity. This greatly
intensifies pleasure.

 Special Issue on Software Engineering for Mobility
 
 http://www.cs.rochester.edu/u/murphy/ase.html
 
 Call for papers
 ---------------
 
 The integration between computing and communication represents one of the most
 important technological developments of the last decade, a phenomenon marked
 by significant economic and social changes centered mostly on the Internet.
 The goal of this special issue is to examine the next major wave of
 technological changes in the computing environment, the integration of
 computing, communication, and mobility. In its broadest sense, mobility
 involves the migration of computing components through some logical or
 physical space.  Physical components provide the platform for applications
 designed to cope with changes in physical location and connectivity to both
 wired and wireless networks.  Physical components can assume a large diversity
 of forms including sensors, personal digital assistants, laptops, and large
 computing platforms residing on vehicles including cars, ships, or airplanes.
 Movement may happen across geographical regions or in the confines of a single
 building.  Applications executing on such platforms may act in isolation, may
 coordinate with components in close proximity, or may access resources on a
 fixed network.  Mobile components can also come in the shape of logical units
 such as code fragments or active programs.  The latter carry both code and
 execution state among fixed and mobile hosts, exploiting locality of resources
 and computation.  A feature typical of all mobile environments is the need to
 adapt to a constantly changing context that is affected by variability of
 network characteristics, changes in the availability of resources, and
 heterogeneity among participating platforms.  For these and other reasons,
 mobility is associated with increases in the complexity of the software
 development process.  New software engineering techniques are needed to
 address the challenges posed by the development of software for physical and
 logical mobile environments.
 
 This special issue is intended to highlight new research that advances the
 understanding of critical issues in mobility and proposes viable solutions for
 the software engineering of systems that involve mobility in all its
 forms. Submissions are not restricted in any way.  Topics of special interest
 include middleware tailored to mobility, tools to aid in the design of mobile
 systems, models that capture fundamental properties of mobility and enable
 formal reasoning about mobile systems, coordination techniques which address
 adaptability and security, and algorithms that solve fundamental problems in
 mobility.

 This Journal is an archival, peer-reviewed journal publishing research,
 tutorial papers, survey and accounts of significant industrial experience in
 the foundations, techniques, tools and applications of automated software
 engineering technology. This includes the study of techniques for
 constructing, understanding, adapting, and modeling software artifacts and
 processes. Both automatic systems and collaborative systems are within the
 scope of the journal, as are computational models of human software
 engineering activities. Knowledge representations and artificial intelligence
 techniques applicable to automated software engineering are of interest, as
 are formal techniques that support or provide theoretical foundations.

Hi,

I was wondering, in an ad hoc network node, what would be the actual
routing/state-table-lookup delay (time taken at the intermediate node to
execute the instructions that look-up the routing/state table and
determine the next-hop) ? What percentage of the the overall end-to-end
packet transmission latency from source to destination would this lookup
delay constitute? Is it negligible?

I am assuming a 50 node network in a 500m x 500m area with an 802.11 MAC
layer protocol.

Thank you.

Regards,
Samarth.

Hi everybody :)

This is about AODV draft.


In the section 8.3.1, says that when a reverse route is created or
updated
"the hop count is copied from the Hop Count in the RREQ message".

And, int the section 8.5 (generating gratuitous RREPs) says that
the hop count in the RREQ  is "The Hop Count as received in the RREQ".

But, as I see it, if we do it the hop counts resulting from these
actions
are gonna be wrong. (one hop less that what it should be)

I think that it should be as in the first paragraph of the section 8.3.1
were "The Hop Count field [...] is incremented by one, to account for
the new
hop through the intermediate node".
(Then routing tables would have the right values)


I was just wondering if, maybe, some of you have also noticed this.

It is almost certainly negligible, assuming that you already have
the next-hop information in your routing table. If you use short, unique
node identifiers (eg 16 bits) it can be as quick as an indexed table
lookup in memory. And that memory is presumably already in your cache.
So on many machines, one cycle will do it.

Note that there are a few other parts to the packet forwarding
path (eg decrementing TTLs etc) but on the whole the forwarding
path is very quick - especially when compared to 802.11 channel access.

As an aside, the multicast forwarding operation is considerably
more complex than that for unicast. The main problem here is that
routing loops cause much worse behavior in multicast than they do
in unicast, since packets get replicated at each multicast forking
point. Hence routing loops can lead to "chain reactions" of more
and more forwarded copies of packets. As a result, multicast forwarding
in ad hoc networks really needs some more complicated checks to
prevent routing loops from wreaking such havoc.

PS. Note that getting the right information into the forwarding table
is the hard part - but I imagine that you know that.

Hi, 

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I was assuming that the next-hop information has been previously
determined and is cached.

Is there a way I can determine average end-to-end propagation delay of a
flooded packet in an ad hoc network? Averaged over all senders and all
recipients. And also, the corresponding standard deviation.

Assuming duplicate packets are ignored and a 50-node network in a 500m x
500m area, using 2 Mbps links and given a maximum load of (say) 10 other
flows in the network. Also, maximum speed is 20 m/s.

Further, I am assuming that this average won't vary much with time.

Thanks and regards,
Samarth.

Hi Samarth,

Well, your previous question was very easy to answer, but this one
will require a PhD thesis in response. Maybe someone else on the
list is actually doing a thesis on this and cares to hold forth...?

If not, I suggest that you start rummaging about in the hundreds of
papers that people have writting on ad hoc networking, then get
yourself a good simulator, implement some algorithms, and start
measuring the results. (I suggest simulation because in general
such networking performance results are not easy to reduce to
closed-form math.)

Cheers and good luck,

Samarth,

if it is simulations you are doing, you have to assume something called a
'router processing delay' at each node between the RECEIVE event and a SEND
event for a packet. this is NOT negligible.

combine this with a 'link propagation delay' and you have your propagation
delay between two nodes in your ad hoc network. the link propagation delay
depends on the bandwidth you choose for the link and the size of the packet
you are sending.

for eg if your packet is going from node 1 to node 5 and there are nodes 2,
3 and 4 in between the
propagation delay would be

       = router processing delay * 3 + link propagation delay for each link

router processing delay could be an average value, the same for every node.
for link propagation delay, you can safely ignore the distance between two
nodes.

for the average router processing delay, read a few papers. a lot of
simulations ignore this and in my opinion those results are wrong.

regards
Vijay

Hi,
about the support of multicast sessions on DSR protocol. As far as I could
see in draft-ietf-manet-dsr-03.txt flow could be delivered with the RREQ
packet support.
Does this mean that no tree (shared or source-based) is used in multicast
group?
The delivery of data with piggybacking onto RREQ packet and no pruning means
that high overhead will be generated on the network.

Does anybody want to give some comments?

Thanks, Alberto Ziglioli

Dear Friend:

Do you need a change in your life?

Do you remember when the entire world seemed like it was
yours for the taking?

Do you remember a time when all of your hopes and dreams seemed
like they were attainable?

First of all, let's be honest. You are not going to earn $50,000 in
20 days. It just isn't going to happen. Anyone who tells you that
you can, is not being truthful.  But, let me tell you about a plan
that can possibly make all your dreams come true...keep reading!

********************************************************************

I would like to tell you about a plan that has changed my life.
Take a calculator and figure in the worst possible scenario. Decide
for yourself. If you decide that you want to take control of your
life and move forward...that is your decision.

********************************************************************

Here's the step by step plan summary.

1)You order the 4 reports listed below ($5 each). They come to you
by email.

2)Save a copy of this entire letter and put your name at report #1.
Move all other names  down. (You will be removing the person at the
level 4)

3)Use any of the hundreds of bulk email services out there.

4)Orders will come right to your door. Simply email them the report
they ordered.Isn't that about as easy as it gets???

********************************************************************

Your cost to participate in this program is practically nothing
(surely you can afford $20 and initial bulk mailing cost). You
obviously already have a computer and an Internet connection and
e-mail is FREE!

The primary method of building your downline is bulk email.

Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes.
Let's assume that you and all those involved email out only 2,000
programs each. Let's also assume that the mailing receives a 0.5%
response. The response could be much better. Also, many people will
email out more than 2,000 programs. With a 0.5% response, that is
only 10 orders for Report #1.  Those 10 respond  by sending out
2,000 programs each for a total of 20,000.  Out of those 0.5%, 100
people respond and order 20,000.  The 0.5% response rate to that is
1,000 orders for Report #3. Those 1,000 send out 2,000 each for a
total of 2,000,000.  The 0.5% response rate is 10,000 orders for
report #4. That is 10,000 $5 bills for you. CASH!!!

*********************************************************************

Your total income in this example is: $50+ $500+ $5000+ $50,000 for
a total of $55,550!!!

*********************************************************************

REMEMBER FRIEND. THIS IS ASSUMING 1,990 OUT OF THE 2,000 PEOPLE YOU
MAIL TO WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND TRASH THIS PROGRAM!!!  DARE
TO THINK FOR A MOMENT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF EVERYONE, OR EVEN HALF
MAILED OUT 100,000 INSTEAD OF 2,000. Believe, most people will do
just that, and more!!!

Friend, you do the math. You look at the opportunity, if you decide
that you would like to participate in this program, the decision is
yours.

Recently, the Federal Trade Commission has tried to stop chain
letters which promise you will make tons of money by participating.  
Such chain letters are NOT legal because of this reason. This new
program complies with all the rules.

To be legal, a chain letter must offer a product and must not
promise you will get rich by taking part. If you look at the
program, do the math and decide that you will make money, it is
your opinion. No such claim is here.

However, I do strongly encourage you to do the calculations.
Figure out the worst possible response and see how it calculates.

Your orders come right to your door and you send your reports via
email. You are not involved in personal selling.

You do it privately in your own home, store, or office. This is the
EASIEST plan anywhere. It is simply order filling by email.

Order the four reports shown on the list below. You can't sell them
if you don't order them!!!.

For each report, send $5.00 CASH, the  NAME & NUMBER OF THE REPORT
YOU ARE ORDERING, YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, and YOUR NAME AND RETURN
ADDRESS (in case there's a problem).  MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN ADDRESS
IS ON THE ENVELOPE IN CASE OF ANY MAIL PROBLEMS!

Report #1 will tell you how to download bulk email software and
email addresses so you can send it out to thousands while you
sleep. Remember that 50,000+ new people are joining the Internet
every month.

By the way, there are over 50 million email addresses with millions
more joining the Internet each year, so we don't worry about
"saturation".  People are used to seeing and hearing the same
advertisements every day on radio/TV.  How often have you received
the same pizza flyers on your door. Then, one day you are hungry
for pizza and immediately recall the flyer. Same thing with this
letter. I received this letter many times- then one day I decided
it was time to try it.

This program will not require you to come into contact with people
or take any telephone calls. Just follow the instructions.

There is no guarantee either stated or implied that anyone
participating in this program will earn $50,000+.  (You must
include that statement to make this legal.)

******* TIPS FOR SUCCESS *******

TREAT THIS AS YOUR BUSINESS! Be prompt, professional, and follow
the directions accurately. -- Send for the four reports IMMEDIATELY
so you will have them when the orders start coming in because: When
you receive a $5 order, you MUST send out the requested product/report.

It is required for this to be a legal business and they need the
reports to send out their letters (with your name on them!) -- ALWAYS
PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON THE ORDERS YOU RECEIVE. -- Be patient
and persistent with this program.

**********************************************************************
Get started TODAY!! Notes- ALWAYS SEND $5 CASH (US CURRENCY) FOR
EACH REPORT.  CHECKS NOT ACCEPTED.  make sure the cash is concealed
by wrapping it in two sheets of paper. On one of those sheets
write: (a) the number and name of the report you are ordering, (b)
your e-mail address, and (c) your name and postal address.

I figured that this average flood-packet delay is not dissimilar to the
average delay experienced by a flooded link state packet (LSP) in a link
state protocol for an ad hoc network.

Perhaps there exists some such protocol and such data for it exists in
literature.

I was just wondering if my analogy was right and if you might know of any
such link-state protocol or study of average delays for LSPs. If my
analogy is right, perhaps I should study OLSR in a little more detail?

Many thanks and regards,
Samarth.

Hi Hossam,


Greetings! Yes, BBN has done a number of simulations of ad hoc networks
in OPNET. Unfortunately these are simulations for protocols that are now
being deployed into the US military and so we are not at libery to
release the source code.


However, I would be glad to answer your questions, to the best of my
ability. It is not entirely easy to choose between OPNET and ns-2 because
they have different strengths.


OPNET's main advantage is that it has a fairly large commercial base,
includes built-in features for modeling a number of existing kinds of
network technology, has reasonably good display graphics and and a
graphics-based user interface, and is fundamentally "object oriented"
which is a very good thing for network design. In our experience, it
seems essentially bug-free and does what it claims it will do. It has
some noticeably bad points, though. First, it is very expensive - enough
so that I doubt an academic department would really want to pay the
license fees. Second, it is rather slow and thus requires a fairly
high-powered machine for running good-size models. Third, its user
interface has seemed rather clunky to those of us at BBN who use it a
lot. Fourth, its implementations of TCP (etc) are nothing to write home
about and last I knew, its implementation of OSPF was downright buggy,
which is dangerous if you're trying to model behaviors of higher-level
protocols. Fifth, it is commercial software so you can't see or change
the source unless you are very good friends with MIL-3.


ns-2's main advantages are as follows. First, it is free. Second, it is
open-source. Third, it has historically had very good and extensive TCP
implementations, which thus allows you to observe higher-level protocol
behavior. Fourth, I think that most academic MANET researchers are using
ns-2 so you stand a chance of grabbing and importing their protocols. Its
disadvantages are that it's a fairly bare-bones system (very few frills
and built-in features compared to OPNET), that its graphics aren't quite
as pretty as OPNET, and that you'll have to do a few more things yourself
rather than have them handed to you on a silver platter.


On the whole, if it were me, I would choose ns-2. In fact, other groups
within BBN have used ns-2 for MANET research work and are quite happy
with it. In my view, it's something like the choice between Linux and
Windows 98, where ns-2 is Linux and OPNET is Windows 98. There's of
course a large element of personal preference involved, but on the whole
I think that ns-2 is a better match for MANET research.


Just my two cents but hope that it is useful.


Cheers,

PS. Why then, you might ask, did we pick OPNET? Well, we were required to
deliver an OPNET model under the terms of our contract. And that's not a
bad choice for the US military, since they can require OPNET models from
each of their subcontractors and then glue them together to make a really
big overall network model - all in OPNET. A far-sighted and laudable
goal, in my view. So I'm not complaining about OPNET, just saying it may
not be the best tool for your research.=20

Hi Chip,

I appreciate very much your quick reply. I understand the code release
issue. I also understand your recommendations and I agree on most of them.
It is still a tough choice for me since:
1. CUNY (our school) has a license for it. It is already purchased and
installed.
2. It is installed in a high-power Sun Server.
3. I have a colleague who is an expert in OPNET 7.0 (2 years experience) who
will help me in my research (Please, see below a brief description).
4. He did a lot of work in TCP simulations.
5. He has a lot of friends in MIL-3 since he has been coordinating with them
for more than 1.5 years.
*. I also agree with your ns-2 recommendations.

My research is (briefly): "MANET Internet Access". However, I designed a
modified MIP (backward compatible) to work with any MANET unicast protocol.
There are lot of value-added features within this developed protocol. I am
in a situation to start simulation to prove the applicability of this new
protocol. Since I need MIP (to change the source and add to it) + several
MANET unitcast protocols (to run the simulation against) + other reasons,
ns-2 looks like the best simulation vehicle for me (I am a Unix fan and
Microsoft hater !!!).

Thanks again for your time.
/Hossam

Hi Samarth,

That seems like a good approach, if by "flooding" you mean "flooding".
(That is, in classic link-state every update crosses every simplex link
in the network, and an acknowledgement crosses the reverse path of
each of these links. There are "smarter" though sometimes less robust
flooding techniques in which packets only transit a subset of the network
graph, eg, a multicast tree.) The delay time can then be estimated by graph
theory, eg, the network topology's diameter is the maximal delay, etc.

Real life link-state protocols are more complex than you might guess,
however. In particular they generally apply some form of rate control
to (a) the initial injection of routing updates into the network,
and (b) the forwarding onward of these messages across network links.
There are a number of different reasons for this. First, it can help
avoid flooding the network with control traffic for marginal links,
ie, those that keep coming up and going down. (This is often also
tackled by a "hello" protocol with hysteresis.) Second, when a new
router appears, delaying its initial update will allow batching of
updates from all the links that it is bringing up. Third, in some
situations - especially ad hoc networks - it can be desirable to
provide some cap on the rate at which control traffic can be injected
into a channel. Rate-limiting the updates in such cases has the further
desirable property that multiple updates can be batched into a single
message for transmission, thus amortizing the rather heavy channel
access penalty across a number of routing updates. All these techniques
have the downside, though, that they add delay to the flooding
propagation time. Calculating the delays analytically can be tricky
because a per-hop delay can depend on things link the average degree of
the network ie, the number of neighbors for each node.

You should also be extremely wary of the channel access delay in
flooding cases. People often assume that these delays are statistically
independent, ie, uncorrelated. This is very false in many flooding
techniques, since a number of nodes (in the same channel) will have
received a flooded message at about the same time, and will all be
contending for the channel in order to flood it onwards to their
neighbors. Hence my recommendation would that IF you are going to
perform analytic computations of the delay, you should be sure that
you're taking into account the correlated channel access problem.

Hai All
     I am reading the AODV draft and I am not quite sure about 
when the Hello packet of AODV is exchanged during
its oparation.

I wonder that the Hello packet is exchanged within neighboring nodes

(a) only within nodes along which  the RREP packet path is taken.

(b) within nodes after receiving RREQ packet.

(a) actively all of time

If anyone has any idea with this, please kindly inform me.
I really appreciate this.

Thank you

Hello packets are for neighbour discovery. So packets are exchanged
periodically.

Hai Wong 
    
   Thank you for replying to my question. 
If the Hello packet is exchanged periodically over ALL
of the nodes, won't the hello packet waste the bandwidth
and power supply of nodes that are not actively involved
in forwarding of real data packet ?
Besides, we might piggyback the routing table over the
hello packet and spread the routing table over the 
whole network. 
But this sounds controversial to the idea of basic
on-demand routing protocol where route searching is
initiated  ONLY WHEN a sending node originates a data
packet addressed to that node.

   If I am wrong please kindly correct me and 
I really appreciate this.

Thank you

The intent of the hello packets in AODV is not for doing the actual routing
per se, but to maintain "local" connectivity information (i.e., to maintain
a list of current neighbors). It is important to know the local connectivity
so that link breaks on active routes are detected and routes are erased. If
other mechanisms exist to detect link breaks on active routes (such as a
layer-2 feedback) then hello packets are not needed.

It would be certainly interesting to exchange full or partial routing tables
with hello packets to add some proactive flavor to AODV. In fact, we have
simulated something similar. Early results seem to indicate that this can
improve performance in some situations for dense networks.

If the data communication is only among nodes in small section of the
network, then answer to your question is certainly yes.

Again, the benefit of such an approach depends on the kind of data
traffic.

Hi,
Hello messages are intended for neighbor discovery. When hello messages
are used, they are exchanged between neighbors periodically regardless of
RREQ and RREP packets.
An alternative is to use link-level feedback to detect the loss of
neighbors.
Regards,
Mahesh

Hello,

It is true that Hello packets consume bandwidth,
and that we'd like to get rid of them.

According to the specification, Hello packets would
be transmitted periodically by all nodes if no
other means of neighbor detection were available.

However, your first choice (a):

> (a) only within nodes along which the RREP packet path is taken.

is intriguing, and I don't recall that we ever thought of
that idea before.  What _could_ happen is the following:

1) Broadcast RREQ
2) Unicast RREP
3) Hello never transmitted unless precursor list nonempty.

I don't see anything wrong with this scenario.

Regards,
Charlie P.

Mobile computing has emerged as an important area of computing today as we
move to the
next millennium. This has been made possible due to the tremendous and
continued growth
of wireless communications and network technology over the past decade,
providing
infrastructures for "anytime anywhere" access to distributed computing
systems and
information repositories. The mobility of users offers new challenges to
seamless
connectivity in a distributed, heterogeneous network of wireline and
wireless
components.  Several techniques and algorithms developed by the parallel and
distributed
computing community can be applied to solve typical wireless networks and
mobile
computing: routing, scheduling, load balancing, cache coherence, information
access, and
QoS provisioning problems. The objective of this workshop is to bring
together
technologists and researchers of international reputation in the areas of
Parallel and
Distributed Computing and Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing in order to
have a
forum for discussions, exchange of ideas and presentations.
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts for this
workshop.
Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings (by IEEE CS Press) of
the IPDPS
workshops.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Processor Architectures for Mobile and Wearable Computers
* Wireless networks in grid computing applications
* Routing in adhoc networks
* Parallel and distributed techniques for solving problems in mobile
computing
* Distributed techniques for QoS Provisioning in wireless networks
* Distributed caches in mobile computing environments
* Caching, prefetching, pushcaching and replication to enhance information
access in
wireless networks
* Distributed wireless sensor networks
* Routing and location independent information access
* Scheduling issues in mobile computing
* Parallel/distributed algorithms for mobile computing systems
* Distributed Wireless multimedia systems
* Active Networks


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Dear Dr/Mr Charles E. Perkins,Dr/Mr Mahesh Marina,Dr/Mr Samir

Thank you very much for replying to my mail.
As Samir has mentioned that the Hello Packet is to maintain "local"
connectivity information. I totally agree that Hello Packet is needed to
check if there is any link failure in the path ACTIVELY IN USE for
transfering of data.

My question was do we really need to maintain
"local connectivity" among nodes that is not involving in the transfering
of real data ?  Do we really need to maintain local connectivity of the
whole network ?

Imagine that there are 20 nodes in an area and
they move randomly. There is a long period of time that these
nodes are in SLEEPY MODE where no data is transfered among
them. Do we still need to maintain the expensive cost of
"local connectivity" that consumes battery power of all nodes
when no actual data packet travelling in the network ?

If I am wrong,please kindly correct me.
Thank you very much

ghee

Hi all,

I guess that Hello transmission can be skipped when nodes are actively
forwarding data packets because these transmissions are making them visible
to their neighbors.

Hi Ghee,

I see your point but, ... how do you know when a node should be powered up
again? The problem I see is that if you shutdown a node that currently is
not forwarding packets, then nobody can power it up when needed.

Of course some kind of negotiated and time-limited shutdown can be of some
help to conserve node power.

That's my thought.

Regards,

Miguel Sanchez

Hello again,

I have not yet been able to think of any requirement
why a node should have to broadcast and/or receive
Hello messages when it is not actively involved with
any communication or packet forwarding operations.

Thus, in answer to your questions:

>                         My question was do we really need to maintain
> "local connectivity" among nodes that is not involving in the transfering
> of real data ?  Do we really need to maintain local connectivity of the
> whole network ?

I would say "probably not".

But, I'll be interested to hear more discussion from
other people who may have thought more about it.

Regards,
Charlie P.

Hello Miguel,

Yes, I think I agree about when Hello messages can be skipped.

So, if hello messages are NOT transmitted from inactive
nodes, and if they are NOT transmitted from nodes that
have forwarded a packet, then the only time they would
have to be transmitted is for the time interval
	ALLOWED_HELLO_LOSS * HELLO_INTERVAL
after the last time an active forwarder sent a packet.

We might have to make some relationship between
	ACTIVE_ROUTE_TIMEOUT (default: 3,000 Milliseconds)
and
	ALLOWED_HELLO_LOSS * HELLO_INTERVAL
so that a node deprecates a route only after some time
that is related to how many Hello messages its active
neighbors expect to hear.

We might also have to specify that nodes interested
in getting neighbor information about an active route
are mandated to operate in promiscuous mode if at
all possible for the abovementioned period of time.

Is this something that should be fixed before AODV
goes to Last Call?

Regards,
Charlie P.

Deborah Estrin's group in UCLA/USC/ISI has extended AODV to do
something very similar. They have a report on the web available from
http://lecs.cs.ucla.edu/~estrin/
titled "Adaptive Energy Conserving Routing for Mobile Ad Hoc Network."

Hello again,

I would assume that this strategy can only work in conjunction
with some other protocol operation (perhaps at layer 2) that
causes RREQ broadcasts to have the appropriate effect.
If broadcasts work, then having a node go into reduced power
mode will still be O.K.

Regards,
Charlie P.

Dear Ghee,

 IMHO,  you do not need to maintain local connectivity if you do NOT have
active sessions going through you.   If you have routes which are currently
being used, then certainly yes because you would want to
tell the source ASAP.


> them. Do we still need to maintain the expensive cost of

No, however you might want to maintain connectivity if you
are thinking of doing local recovery through neigboring nodes
which might not be maintaining any routes.

A better way might be to just listen in to neighboring nodes

Dear Miguel,

Have a look at a protocol call PAMAS, I think it does do power up and
power down dynamically.

Hi All,

The message complexity required for local connectivity
can be adjusted according to mobilty . Let us assume 
that there are nodes which do not change position over

time. In that case it will be wastage to continuously 
send location updates in the form of Hello packets. It
will also be a good idea to restrict hello packets
propogation on the basis of the information of 
position change in it.

Mobility can also affect the duration of validity of 
a routing entry.It can be safely assumed that if there
is no movement there is no need to send routing 
updates, because the old path is still valid. Furthur 
the Hello packets will be minimal in the case of ON
DEMAND routing when there are a few packets to be sent

after a long interval.

regards
Hridesh

Hello,

One non solved problem may be with long term unidirectional links.

A---->B

1) Broadcast RREQ from A received by B;
2) Unicast RREP from B not received by A;
3) route discovery failure.

One possible way to cope with this scenario would be that B be aware that
A->B is unidirectional before 1) happens, so that A is not registered in
precursor list of B and 2) does not happen. In this case pro-active hellos
may help to maintain this information.

Regards,
Philippe

Hello Hridesh,

Does this mean "message frequency"?

How can a node tell if it is moving fast or slow?

What does it mean, "hello packets propagation"?
Aren't hello messages, when transmitted for the purpose
of neighborhood detection, discarded after processing
(i.e., not forwarded)?

But a node cannot tell if it has moved or not,
especially in relation to its neighbors, without
some signal that can be used for detection.
And, I'm not sure how your last statement follows
from the previous ideas.

Hello,

We didn't solve the unidirectional routing problem for AODV,
but at least we can get rid of long-term route discovery failures.
This is the purpose of the 'A' bit for RREP, and the RREP-ACK
message.

Solving the general unidirectional routing problem requires
broadcast RREPs, a compatible link-layer, and perhaps another
unicast acknowledgement after the discoverer gets a RREP.  Plus,
source routes in the control messages would be handy.  We have
often thought about adding them to AODV's RREQ and RREP, abstaining
mainly because of political considerations.  They aren't needed
nearly as much unless one wishes to allow unidirectional routes.

There are probably simple solutions for special cases that
would then need some intuitive characterization.

Regards,
Charlie P.

Hai all

I have two questions here concerning the AODV protocol.
If anyone has any idea on those questions please kindly
comment. Thank you.

Question 1
----------
   
   When there is a link failure occured during data transfering, 
how does  the AODV know whether 

to perform "local recovery"

or 

to inform the source node that link failure has occured
in order to broadcast a new RREQ for the destination node.
   
Question 2
----------
Does AODV  first try using the cached information 
before broadcasting a new RREQ ?
The using of cached route information in the intermediate nodes 
and the source node may help limiting the propagation of RREQ. 
I agree with this but I really doubt that using
cached route information may improve performance
over all. 
It may end up generating more RREQ messages instead.

thank you
ghee

Hello Wang Wooi,

We have studied the impact of query quenching (route chaching) on the
performance of routing protocols and compared the performance of
AODV/DSR with our RDMAR protocol. Discussion and results could be found
in our WoWMoM99 paper.
Also referring to you question_#1, since RDMAR performs localisation
during the Route Discovery and the Route Maintenance phase, you can find
useful information on when/how RDMAR nodes either repair a route locally
or send error messages back to affected data sources instead.. 

Also D.Maltz & D. Johnson have studied the performance tradeoffs of
route caching. So you may try David's homepage and see some of their
papers.

Regards,
George A.

Hello,

You mean the problem of routing packets on unidirectional links? Yes I
agree this is a difficult problem calling for appropriate data link layer. 

But my problem is much simpler: 

In presence of permanent unidirectional links in the network, the route
discovery process may permanently fail, even if there exists bidirectional
routes. One solution to this problem may be that no node should forward
RREQ packets received from unidirectional links. But this may need the use
of proactive hello exchanges. 

Example of architecture which leads to route discovery failure from A to G

A----B----C----D----E----F----G---H--- 
 \............>

Links between A and B, B-C, C-D, etc, are symmetric links. But nodes A has
unidirectional links to C and D (C and D hear A but are not heared by A). 

Regards,
Philippe

But, I had previously written:

>>This is the purpose of the 'A' bit for RREP, and the RREP-ACK

Do you think that our solution of allowing a node to require
ACKs for RREPs fails to solve the problem?

If so, can you suggest any straightforward solution to this
problem?

Yes. This problem was discussed in the MANET list a few months back and some
solutions were proposed.  Of course, proactive hellos will also work.

The protocol does not really "know" which way would be better. But
one can think of heuristics that would perform well. For example,
if the source is too far in number of hops may be you can go for
local recovery.

I don't follow your point clearly as AODV does not use caching explicitly.
Do you mean that an intermediate node having a valid route to destination
and replying to RREQ is equivalent to caching? Tnen AODV already does what
you mentioned.

Hello Charlie,

I am not sure the RREP-ACK would suffice, because the problem comes because
the node has forwarded the RREQ before. 

One solution could be the "black list", described few months ago. Every
node manages a local black list listing known unidirectional links. Nodes
don't process nor forward RREQ packets received from a node listed in black
list. A node can be recorded in black list after one RREP-ACK failed (this
may imply at least one route failure). 

Maybe nodes in black lists should be time-out in some way, because I don't
see how to refresh such information without route failure or pro-active
hellos. 

Maybe there are simpler way to handle this problem,

Regards,
Philippe

You mean that the answer to decide which way to repair the link failure
is to count the no. of hop from the source node.
Then how "far" should we decide that it's far enough to perform the local
recovery?

Futuremore, performing local recovery far from the source nodes may not
bring positive performance.

Imagine that there is a path where the source node is 10 hops away from
the destination node.
Link failure occurs at node no. 8 which is "far" away from the source node.
So the local recovery is performed and RREQ is broadcasted from node no.8
While waiting for the local recovery, the relatively "long remaining active 
path"
may break again somewhere,let say node no. 6,another RREQ is broadcasted
from node. no.6 .

Well, this might deteriorate the performance adversely.

The AODV only use the cached information only if the destination sequence
no. is higher than the current destination sequence no.
This situation occurs rarely.
Are you suggesting that AODV does not encourage using the cached 
information?
I have read some of the works done by David B. Johnson,
and he argues that the using of cached information might help
to bring down the broadcasting of RREQ in On-Demand protocol.
Would like to know your opinion.

Thank you

Hello Philippe,

First, I apologize for this long message. Please be patient as there are
several issues that I have tried to address in the context of
unidirectional links.

I have been following this discussion on unidirectional links with great
interest because our group (including Sanket Nesargi and Daniel Russo) has
been working on the problem of unidirectional links for over a year now. 

If I understand your suggestion correctly, you are suggesting that the
routing protocol should ignore all unidirectional links and restrict
itself to bidirectional links only. 

While this will work in some situations it can lead to problems in other
situations. For example, let us assume that in the actual network there
exists a multi-hop path from A to B and a different multi-hop path from B
to A. Let both these
paths have at least one unidirectional link. If these unidirectional links
are ignored, the routing protocol will be unable to discover routes from A
to B and from B to A. Effectively, it will conclude that A and B belong to
different network partitions. So, A and B will be unable to communicate
with each other. In reality A and B are in the same
partition. 

Moreover, sometimes it may be possible to find a shorter route that uses a
combination of uni- and bi-directional links, compared to a route that
only uses bi-directional links. 

So, "black listing"  has its limitations.

In DIAL-M, 1999 (held in conjunction with MobiCom in August 99) I
presented a paper where in an N-node network nodes end up exchanging
their knowledge of the network topology by communicating N*N matrices with
their neighbors whenever permitted by the directionality of the
lins. Through a sequence of matrix exchanges between
neighbors the downstream node of a unidirectional link is able to
convey information about the existence of that link to the upsteam
node. Then, the upstream node can use this link to forward packets.
Of course, this requires that a path exist from the downstream node to the
upstream node of a unidirectional link.

Our initial goal was to see if some modifications could
be made to DSDV to handle unidirectional links and we ended up incurring
higher overheads. However, one has to make a choice between higher
overheads in route discovery vs. erroneous conclusions of partitioning or
sub-optimal paths with low overheads.  

In IC3N 1999, Lichun Bao and J.J. Garcia-Luna-Aceves presented a paper
which also
dealt with routing in wirless mobile ad hoc networks. They, too, observed
that the unidirectional link needs to be part of an inclusive cycle for it
to be usable for routing purposes, and presented a protocol. I will not go
into the details of their work because I do not wish to utter something
about their protocol that may be wrong.

In IC3N 2000, held last week, Sanket Nesargi and I presented a paper on
routing in ad hoc networks with unidirectional links using the tunneling
approach. This idea is to offer a frame-work for a variety of routing
protocols so that the unidirectionality of links can be hidden from the
routing modules by performing link-layer and network layer
operations. This is similar to the approach proposed by IETF's UDLR
working group.

Let us assume that in this framework a distance-vector based protocol is
operating. Then, the downstream node of the unidirectional link would
"tunnel" its route advertisement to the upstream node. Once the upstream
node receives this tunneled distance vector it can use the vector to
update its own distance vector as if the advertisement was received
directly from the downstream node. 

Also, at the link layer, acknowledgments for frames sent along
unidirectional links have to be handled. As the ACKs cannot be directly
sent from the downstream node to the upstream node of the unidirectional
link the ACKs, too, will need to be tunneled (routed at the network layer) 
to the upstream node. However, if care if not taken this can result in ACK
explosion if the tunnel also contains a unidirectional link. We
have proposed a simple fix to handle this problem. 

An important issue to note at this point is that RTS/CTS based link-layer
handshake, as done in IEEE 802.11, will work for bidirectional links
only. So, in order to be able to use unidirectional links we will need to
work on MAC layer protocols as well. 

Having said all this, one may wonder why go to such great lengths to use
unidirectional links when they create so many problems? Well, first
because it is an interesting problem! But, the more important reason is
that mobility, multi-path losses, interference, and uneven depletion of
battery can lead to several incidences of unidirectional links. So, we
cannot afford to ignore such links.

If anybody is interested in copies of our papers I will be happy to email
them.

With best regards,

----Ravi.

Hello Ravi,

A 13:06 25/10/00 -0500, vous avez écrit :

I don't have the pretention to make such statement! I just noticed that
some (most) protocols needs bidirectional routes (because of the underlying
data link layer) but certain can deadlock in presence of unidirectional
links even if the appropriate bidirectional routes exist. The "black list"
is an attempt to solve this particular case.

Regarding the general concept of routing over unidirectional links, I
understood this is a very difficult issue. There would be the need of
deeply dedicated MAC layers as you mention in your long mail. 

Regards,
Philippe

HI Philippe,

I agree with you that several MANET routing protocols implicitly or
explicitly restrict themselves to bidirectional links only, and that they
will not work correctly in the presence of unidirectional links. 

I can think of situations of wrong routes being detected. This will either
result in unnecessary transmissions or incessant route discovery attempts
on the receipt of routing errors. 

However, I could not come across a situation in which where nodes would
deadlock. The situations that I have come across would appear more
like livelock. Here, I am interpreting "deadlock" in the operating
system/distributed computing context. So, could you please describe a
situation where a deadlock might occur? I am really interested.

With best regards,

----Ravi.

Dear Ravi,

Deadlock or livelock, sorry, I am a little confused. I just meant that the
route discovery permanently fails for some pairs source-destination, not
that the whole network crashes. 

Network crashes might occur if the protocol has no way to get rid of wrong
information. But if the protocol has an efficient information refresh
process (timeout, sequence numbers), then it should be OK. 

Best regards,
Philippe

Dear Sir/Madam: 

This email is being sent to the group address mmnet@itd.nrl.navy.mil.
Some of you may have already received this message after complaining
directly to the webmaster at RealEstateWebpages.com. I am sorry if this
is the case but I am trying to ensure that all affected parties are
notified.

It has been brought to my attention that you have become extremely
frustrated with our automated opt-in email campaign. I sincerely
apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Our company has taken
the entire system off-line as of 7:00 pm Sunday October 29th until this
problem is corrected.

You are probably wondering why this problem occurred in the first place.
It seems that this email address (mmnet@itd.nrl.navy.mil) was mistakenly
included in our recent email campaign to North American Realtors. This
in itself would not have normally required more than a simple
unsubscribe on your part. However, it turns out that your address is a
group list address for multiple email accounts in your organization.
 
When the first email went out, it was received by your mail server and
forwarded to a group of final addresses. When an individual in this
group unsubscribed from our list the unsubscribe program automatically
replied to all the members of the original group address that they have
been successfully unsubscribed. That meant that all individuals in the
group got another unsolicited message saying that they had successfully
unsubscribed.  We think that at this point one or more other individuals
in the group also tried to unsubscribe. The unsubscribe program was not
designed to deal with list submissions. Basically, when a user
subscribes or unsubscribes the program just throws a toggle switch on or
off. By having multiple users all unsubscribing from the same list it
kept automatically re-subscribing and then unsubscribing the same group
name. Each time this was done it sent out another group message to all
of you saying that you have now been added or deleted from our list.
This probably totally irritated some other members of the group, who
then also tried to unsubscribe from our list. This started yet another
round of email responses of subscribing/unsubscribing - and so on and so
on.

We are extremely sorry for this problem.  The mistake was made on our
part and we will not repeat it. It is very understandable that many of
you reached a high level of frustration with our system (one individual
unsubscribed over 10 times). In order to eliminate this problem and to
break this cycle we decided to take our entire email list system
off-line as of 7:00 pm Sunday October 29th 2000. Any further
unsubscribes will not create any more email responses from us.

It is unfortunate that it took us a few days to figure out what the
problem actually was. We had never experienced a problem with a group
list address before. By taking our system offline we will break the
circular cycle of subscribing and unsubscribing that has been going on
between your group of addresses and our server for the past few days.
Again, we are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused and have made
sure that your address has been removed (permanently) from our system.

Vivian Debruyn-Smith
Customer Service, RealEstateWebpages.com

P.S. If for some reason this does not solve the problem please call me
directly at 1.800.367.9814 or email me at... 

Vivian@RealEstateWebpages.com  (don't worry, this will not put anyone
into an automatic response system - you will be emailing my personal
address).

Hello All
    
     I wonder why DSR is not selected as one of the on-demand
protocol in MANET ? Any significant shortcame of the protocol
that make it not robust enough to be considered as a standardized 
protocol ?

thank you

ghee,

There has been no selection yet of *any* standards in the MANET
Working Group of the IETF.  DSR is still very much under consideration
in the IETF, and we are still very actively working on DSR.  As shown
through many detailed simulations such as those in our paper "A
Performance Comparison of Multi-Hop Wireless Ad Hoc Network Routing
Protocols" in MobiCom'98, DSR has excellent performance.  We have also
implemented the protocol and demonstrated the protocol in real
operation with substantial mobility and substantial load from real
application and transport protocols, showing that the protocol really
works as designed and is indeed quite robust.  For more information on
our implementation results, see the paper "Quantitative Lessons From a
Full-Scale Multi-Hop Wireless Ad Hoc Network Testbed" in WCNC 2000, or
the longer technical report "Experiences Designing and Building a
Multi-Hop Wireless Ad Hoc Network Testbed", both of which are
available from our web pages at http://www.monarch.cs.cmu.edu/.

The current Internet-Draft for DSR has expired, but it is still
available also from our web pages above.  All Internet-Drafts expire
and are automatically deleted if not revised within 6 months.  We have
been busy over this time completing the initial version of QoS support
in DSR and demonstrasting it in a real implementation for DARPA
running Microsoft NetMeeting over a moving DSR network.  Also over
this time, by the way, I have moved from Carnegie Mellon University
(where I had been on the faculty for 8 years) to Rice University.  We
are currently working on DSR at both CMU and at Rice, since I am still
working with the same graduate students, although they are still at
CMU temporarily.  We are currently revising the DSR Internet-Draft
and will be resubmitting it soon.

If I can answer any other questions about DSR, please let me know.

					Dave

Hello,

I have read some papers discussing the advantages offered by clustering and
hierarchical routing in static or almost static environments Intuitively, 
one would think some of these ideas may apply to MANETs especially 
environments with a large number of nodes.

However, I am curious to know how practical clustering would be in such a 
dynamic(link failures, node movement, congestion, etc) network. Specifically, 
how would one select a clusterhead? Assuming all nodes have the ability to 
move at anytime, the clusterhead could possibly move. Does the leader election 
algorithm elect the node that has been stationary the longest. What if this 
node has the least power? It may not be a good choice? There would seem to
be many other issues related to selecting(and reselecting) a clusterhead in a 
highly dynamic network such as a MANET.

Your thoughts and feedback on the advantages/disadvantages surrounding
these issues would be greatly appreciated. If this discussion has already
taken place, please direct me to the-mail archives. Feel free to list any
papers that compare hierarchical versus flat routing.

Thanks for your time,

Thank you Grenville:

Please relax and do not touch that ridiculously convenient "resubscribe 
link" and this will go away..

In light of this wonderful RealEstate list activity, we could begin to 
tighten subscribe/post control on the manet-related lists.  I have avoided 
enforcing "only member" (source ID checked) postings, for convenience of 
traveling/ mobile users,etc. with potential multiple source mail 
accounts,etc.  and until now I have left majordomo subscription activity 
reasonably unaudited. Would the list like to see this be more controlled 
(might catch some of this, but still nothing ideal) or continue to deal 
with occasional bad behavior for the increased flexibility in posting,etc?

A little question of preferred sociology...I vote against an increased 
police state, but the group's will rules.

Hi Dmitri,

At BBN we've done several clustered (hierarchical)
mobile ad hoc networks and have some experience with
how they behave in (a) simulated radio environments,
and (b) actual experiments. The largest real experiment
to date involved about 65 radios in vehicles and
took place out in the Arizona desert in an area of
fairly large hills.

In our networks, all nodes move, and so yes, the
clusterhead may certainly move. Note that it's not such
a great idea to drive your algorithms towards selecting
stationary nodes, if all the other nodes are moving!
What you'd like is some kind of network stability,
so as to hold down the control traffic and # of failed routes,
which means that your clusters should map onto the
underlying structure of the moving radios, if possible.
This is vaguely like trying to select working sets
for paged memory systems...

Most of our networks involve vehicle-based radios,
which generally do not need to worry about power. However
we're still interested in picking clusterheads that
require minimal power in order to communicate with their
members, so as to maximize the overall spatial reuse.
(If everyone whispers, you can get a lot more people in
a room talking at once.) Some of our work, particularly
the power-based DARPA work led by Jason Redi, has had
an explicit goal of power minimization to save battery life.

Choosing good clusterheads is in general as much art as
science, as one is always trying to predict the future:
eg, which node of these N will be the best clusterhead over
the next 10 minutes. That's a hard problem when all the
nodes are moving through some kind of terrain and RF interference
with unpredictable traffic loads!

We've documented some aspects of our networking
protocols and algorithms in papers, typically at MILCOM.
Here's a link you can chase down to find out about
our support for IP multicast routing:

http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/TacCom/papers98/13_03i.pdf

For general background info on our work, and for specific
articles on Jason's power-conservation work, check out:

These are good questions.

Going back aways if you have not read them see below.. (I assume you may 
have already seen these as they good fundamental pieces of work in this 
area. although there is other work as well)

Special issue of the Proceedings of the IEEE on packet radio networks, vol. 
75, no. 1, Jan. 1987. ...paper by Ephremides et al. uses a backbone of 
clusterheads and gateways. Using simple selection criteria of node number 
ordering.

Another reference, more recent, is ``Multicluster, mobile, multimedia radio 
network,'' by M. Gerla and J. T.-C. Tsai, in Wireless Networks vol. 1, no. 
3, 1995, pp. 255-265.

Both these papers had election algorithms running, with some analysis of 
different techniques.  I believe the results from these previous studies, 
opted for simpler lowest ID clusterhead election schemes, as opposed to 
more complex metric election schemes.

In general, to address you broader question, I think hierarchical vs. flat 
discussions might need to be quite subjective.  As any flat algorithm has a 
scaling limit, it is obvious that hierarchical can help when that limit is 
reached.  Flat algorithms can have very different scaling limits and 
conditional behaviors.  We would like to understand those limits better so 
more knowledge of individual algorithms would help.

Another argument against clusters, often discussed,  is can overly 
concentrate traffic in dense networks.  CBRP used such clusters to improve 
flooding of control, but not for data forwarding, an interesting hybrid 
with a potential benefit of avoiding some traffic concentration 
problems.  We also used a hybrid approach like that for a NRL mobile 
networking project in the mid-90s that worked reasonably well (more of a 
MAC/subnet layer approach).

Hope these tidbits help,

Joe

Hi Dmitri,

At UTD we have performed a good amount of research in the area of 
clusterhead election. In our simulations nodes may be static and/or 
mobile. The main criteria for the election algorithm is that no node 
is more than d-hops away from a clusterhead, where d is a programmable 
parameter. This election algorithm is called Max-Min D-Cluster Formation 
and completes in 2d rounds of message exchange. Max-Min uses flooding 
to determine the clusterheads. A paper describing Max-Min can be found 
in the Proceeding of the IEEE INFOCOM 2000.

You are correct that there are many issues that come into play in selecting,

reselecting, or releasing a clusterhead. One as you have pointed out is
power. 
We would like to see all nodes participating in the network consume power at

roughly the same rate. Therefore, it might be necessary to invoke thresholds

governing how long a clusterhead stays a clusterhead before relinquishing
his 
leadership role, clusterheads will consume more power as they do more work. 
Once the leadership role is relinquished we need to insure that the
clusterhead 
will not be re-elected right away. Therefore, you need to instate some sort
of 
load-balancing policy to manage the re-election of clusterheads. This policy

could be based on power, time, number of messages, etc.


Regards,

Alan Amis

Hello,

I have read some papers discussing the advantages offered by clustering and
hierarchical routing in static or almost static environments Intuitively, 
one would think some of these ideas may apply to MANETs especially 
environments with a large number of nodes.

However, I am curious to know how practical clustering would be in such a 
dynamic(link failures, node movement, congestion, etc) network.
Specifically, 
how would one select a clusterhead? Assuming all nodes have the ability to 
move at anytime, the clusterhead could possibly move. Does the leader
election 
algorithm elect the node that has been stationary the longest. What if this 
node has the least power? It may not be a good choice? There would seem to
be many other issues related to selecting(and reselecting) a clusterhead in
a 
highly dynamic network such as a MANET.

Your thoughts and feedback on the advantages/disadvantages surrounding
these issues would be greatly appreciated. If this discussion has already
taken place, please direct me to the-mail archives. Feel free to list any
papers that compare hierarchical versus flat routing.

Thanks for your time,

Hi Dmitri,

  here are my two cents ;-) which have a more computer science flavor. 

  A generalization of the algorithms proposed in the 80s by Ephremides
et al. and more recently by Mario Gerla e la sua banda ;-) (more than
the 1995 paper I consider more informative a paper published in JSAC in
1997), has been considered in several papers scattered in several
conferences. (See the bibtex entries below.) The generalization consists
of assigning to each node a generic weight that can be computed in
different way, that may change in time, etc. This weight is intended to
express the suitability of a node for the role of clusterhead. The first
papers on this subject aim at defining a) clustering properties that
have to be satisfied given the specific characteristics of ad hoc nets,
b) a distributed solution that minimize bandwidth usage and energy
consumption at each node, c) a study of both the time and message
complexity of this distributed solution.
 
  The approach in these papers is to determine in a distributed way a
maximal weight independent set (the clusterheads) which is also dominant
(every non-clusterhead node has a clusterhead as neighbor). Of course
this is not the only possible approach, and there have been several
approaches basically based on not considering the independence of the
clusterheads and build a "spine," i.e., a (minimum) connected dominating
set (the clusterheads).

  There is also an "hybrid" solution in which the indipendence property
is partially released in the sense that up to 1 < k <= n clusterheads are
allowed to be neighbors.

  In our approach (the former), it is clear that the determination of
the weight is very important. This is quite an open issue. The only
paper I know about it is being published in the proceedings of Globecom
2000, and the authors are Sajal K. Das, Damla Turgut et. al.   

  Finally, I have heard rumors that in a book soon-to-be released by
Wiley's and Sons ("Ad hoc networks," C. Perkins Ed.) there is a whole
chapter about clustering for ad hoc nets (Martha Steenstrup is the
