Abstract

A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) consists of a set of identical mobile nodes communicating with each other via wireless links. A mobile device in a MANET must be auto-configured before it may participate in a communication session. Several auto-configuration protocols for assigning an IP address have been proposed but there is still need for improvement. In this paper, we present a new address auto-configuration protocol called one-step addressing (OSA) protocol. This protocol generates less latency and communication overhead for assigning an IP address than previous protocols. An analytical model to investigate the performance of OSA is presented. We compare this performance with that of the token-based and the logical hierarchical addressing (LHA) protocols. The numerical results show that the OSA protocol exhibits better performance, in particular lower latency and communications overhead.
