Abstract

We propose to study the quality of CDS-based virtual backbones generated by fully distributed algorithms in mobile environments. As virtual-backbones may be used for different purposes, the importance of a characteristic may vary accordingly. In order to deal with this variety issue, we provide a set of quality criteria quantifying different suitable aspects for virtual backbones in mobile ad hoc networks. Distributed and localized algorithms are then compared through simulations with respect to these measures and criterion-specific optimizations are proposed for the Blackbone2 algorithm.
