Abstract

We consider duplicate address detection in wireless ad hoc networks under the assumption that addresses are unique in two hops neighborhood. Our approaches are based on the concepts of physical neighborhood views, that is, the information of physically connected nodes, and logical neighborhood views, which are built on neighborhood information propagated in networks. Since neighborhood information is identified by addresses, inconsistency of these two views might occur due to duplicate addresses. It is obvious that consistency of these two views on each node’s neighborhood is necessary for a network to have unique addresses, while the sufficiency depends on the types of information contained in neighborhood views. We investigate different definitions of neighborhood views and show that the traditional neighborhood information, neighboring addresses, is not sufficient for duplication detection, while the wireless nature of ad hoc networks provides useful neighborhood information.
