Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous system of mobile nodes connected by wireless links, which cooperatively and spontaneously form an IP-based network. These networks are infrastructure-free where central administration or configuration by the user are impractical. On the other hand, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) was designed to provide configuration parameters to Internet hosts, so it was not itself designed for the purpose of providing host mobility. In this paper, we present an updating of DHCP designed to configure nodes in a mobile multi-hop ad hoc network. This approach considers problems as abruptly departure of nodes, network partitioning and merging, adding new characteristics to the original protocol. Finally, we evaluate the performance of the solution through simulation experiments.
