Abstract

This paper proposes the Tribe protocol, an indirect routing strategy for wireless self-organizing networks. The protocol is intended to be applied in environments with large number of users, where mobility is taken into account, and the correct operation of the system does not require the support of a fixed (wired or wireless) infrastructure. In Tribe, nodes build a network infrastructure which describes the node's relative location according to the current node's neighborhood. Furthermore, routing is unique and completely independent of any global connectivity ensured by a network-leve routing protocol. The architecture is generic, self-organizing, and independent of IP-like addressing limitations.
