Abstract

A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a group of independent mobile computing nodes that consist of a multi-hop wireless network without a central administration or any infrastructure. Every node that wants to join a MANET must obtain an address for communication. Having a centralized DHCP server that provides addresses to nodes, we can easily and automatically obtain addresses. However, a MANET lacks any fixed infrastructure such as a DHCP server. We therefore propose a distributed address autoconfiguration approach for a MANET using a reserved address and optimistic Duplicated Address Detection (DAD). The reserved address helps to reduce the allocation latency, and the optimistic DAD guarantees the uniqueness of addresses and lessens communication overhead. We then suggest methods of handling network partition and network merging situations, and go on to evaluate our approach through simulations. The simulation result shows that our scheme guarantees the uniqueness of allocated address and considerably improves allocation latency and communication overheads.

모바일 애드_ 흑 네트워크(MANET, Mobile Ad hoc Networks)란 중앙 집중 형태의 제어나 인프라 구조가 없는 독립적인 모바일 컴퓨팅 노드들간의 집합을 의미한다. 애드 혹 네트워크에 연결을 원하는 모든 노드들은 네트워크 연결에 필요한 주소를 얻어야 한다. 만일 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)와 같이 자동으로 주소를 할당해 주는 서버가 존재한다면 쉽게 주소를 얻을 수 있지만, 모바일 애드 혹 네트워크의 특성상 DHCP와 같은 서버의 존재를 가정하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 주소 예약(Address Reservation)과 낙천적 중복 주소 검색(Optimistic Duplicated Address Detection)을 이용한 분산형 자동 주소 설정 방법을 제시한다. 주소 예약은 주소 할당 시간을 줄이는 데 도움을 주고, 낙천적 DAD는 주소의 유일성을 보장하고 네트워크의 트래픽 오버헤드를 줄이는 데 기여한다 또한 제한된 방법은 모바일 애드 혹 네트워크의 분학과 합병에 대한 해결책을 제시한다. 마지막으로 ns-시뮬레이커를 사용한 모의 실험의 곁과를 통해 제안된 방법이 주소 유일성 보장, 주소 선정 시간과 통신 오버헤드 측면에 있어서 우수함을 증명한다.
