Abstract

We present a cluster-based low-complexity routing algorithm for self-organizing networks of mobile nodes called FRANCA. The proposed algorithm allows mobile nodes to autonomously create clusters to minimize the power consumption. We maintained our proposal as simple as possible also providing it with robustness and auto-recoverability properties to allow nodes reconfiguration to be simple and fast. FRANCA is implemented as two separate protocols: the intra-cluster data-dissemination protocol and the inter-cluster routing protocol. These protocols allow integrating IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth networks providing interoperability among mobile devices. We present a sensitivity analysis of the overall protocol architecture by varying the critical factors related to protocol behavior and we show that, in general, FRANCA implementation allows up to 25% of energy saving while keeping the overhead extremely low.
