A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) can be implemented anywhere where there is little or no communication infrastructure, or the existing infrastructure is inconvenient to use. Dynamic and distributed address management is required due to host mobility and lack of central administration in MANETs. Many address management schemes have been proposed for this type of network but these are not without their...
Ad-hoc network management differs from that carried out in networks with infrastructure in that a central node is not used to undertake tasks. Spontaneous networks may be the solution to the configuration problems posed. Here we present a distribution model to resolve these questions.
Testing of applications for ad hoc networks poses a special technical challenge due to the difficulty of conducting experiments in an ad hoc network environment at a scale larger than a few nodes. One approach is to conduct experiments in a testbed that can imitate an ad hoc network. This requires the development of technologies that enable multiple instances of unmodified application software on...
This paper proposes and specifies a protocol for distributing and managing group keys in ad hoc environments, which applies for the Secure Optimized Link State Routing Protocol. Our protocol manages group keys taking into consideration the frequent network partitions and the absence of infrastructure. The analysis shows that the protocol is energy efficient for high key replacement rates and frequent...
