This new algorithm imposes less and constant overhead and delay in obtaining an IP address, and fully utilizes the available addresses space of an ad hoc network, and independent of the existing routing protocol, and less prone to security threats. Moreover, a new Join/Leave mechanism was proposed as an enhancement to the new IP address autoconfiguration algorithm, to support the overall operation of the existing routing protocol of wireless ad hoc networks.展开更多

Address allocation information is maintained on the network border nodes, called addressing agents （AAs）, which are locally identified by a geographic routing protocol GFG （Greedy-FACE-Greedy）. When a node joins the network, it acquires an address from a neighboring AA （if any exists） by local communication or from the head AA （a geographic extreme AA） by GFG-based multi-hop communication. A Geographic Hash Table （GHT） is adopted for duplicate address detection. Each address is hashed to a unique location in the network field, and the associated assignment information is stored along the face perimeter enclosing that location （in the planar graph）. When a node receives an address assignment, it consults with the perimeter nodes around the hash location of the assigned address about any conflicts. AAs detect network partitions and merger locally according to neighborhood change and trigger AA re-selection and network re-configuration （if necessary）. We propose to apply a Connected Dominating Set （CDS） to improve the performance. We also evaluate LaConf through simulation using different planar graphs.展开更多
