On the Connectivity of Multihop Bluetooth Ad Hoc Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper concerns the connectivity of multihop Bluetooth (BT) network. The connectivity properties of the BT network depend mainly in the device discovery procedure. By using a single frequency train instead of double trains in alternate inquiry (inquiry scan) periods, simulation results show that nodes can discover most of their neighbors in shorter time and hence the BT is connected with high probability. The emerged BT graph is compared with the physical graph in terms of probability of connectivity, average node degree, minimum degree and the shortest path length.

Link Technology Aspects in Multihop Ad Hoc Networks
Usually, Ad Hoc network studies concentrate on network layer procedures, such as routing, and performance of the upper layer protocols of the network. The research on ad hoc networking is mostly focused on the network layer solution and the characteristics of the used link technology are analyzed only superficially. Moreover, practically all ad hoc network simulators and testbeds assume IEEE 80...
متن کاملMultihop connectivity in wireless ad hoc networks
Wireless ad hoc networks have numerous real life applications as they can be instantaneously established, require no infrastructure, and are autonomic and selforganizing. Multihop connectivity is the ability of the multiple-hops-away nodes—nodes which are not directly connected—to communicate with each other. Since wireless ad hoc networks are infrastructure-less, the participating nodes themse...
متن کاملThe Utility of Hello Messages for Determining Link Connectivity
Future wireless applications will take advantage of rapidly deployable, self-configuring multihop ad hoc networks. Because of the difficulty of obtaining IEEE 802.11 feedback about link connectivity in real networks, many multihop ad hoc networks utilize hello messages to determine local connectivity. This paper uses an implementation of the Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing proto...
متن کاملSecurity within Ad hoc Networks
With the advancement in radio technologies like Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 or Hiperlan, a new concept of networking has emerged. This is known as ad hoc networking where potential mobile users arrive within the common perimeter of radio link and participate in setting up the network topology for communication. Nodes within ad hoc are mobile and they communicate with each other within radio range th...
متن کاملDoes the IEEE 802.11 MAC Protocol Work Well in Multihop Wireless Ad Hoc Networks?
The IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is the standard for wireless LANs; it is widely used in testbeds and simulations for wireless multihop ad hoc networks. However, this protocol was not designed for multihop networks. Although it can support some ad hoc network architecture, it is not intended to support the wireless mobile ad hoc network, in which multihop connectivity is one of the most prominent f...
