Abstract

In this paper, a fully distributed node allocation scheme, namely Distributed Allocation Scheme (DisAS), is proposed for the purpose of partition protection in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). The proposed scheme controls the locations of nodes in a MANET in a dynamic way. A theoretical upper bound on the probability of partitioning is derived in the scheme. An implementation of DisAS using normal distribution, which is referred to as Normally DisAS (N-DisAS), is also discussed as a case study in this paper. Extensive simulations are carried out to show the effectiveness of N-DisAS in protecting MANETs from partitioning.
