Abstract

Nodes communicate under peer-to-peer level in ad-hoc mobile networks To manage the inter-node communication and data exchange among them a leader node is required In this paper we present a leader election algorithm for distributed mobile ad hoc networks where inter-node communication is allowed only among the neighboring nodes along with the correctness of the algorithm The algorithm uses least amount of wireless resources and does not affect the movement of the nodes.
