Firefly Synchronization in Ad Hoc Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article spontaneous synchronization observed in nature is applied to self-organized wireless networks. In South-East Asia huge swarms of fireflies emit light flashes in perfect synchrony. The underlying principle of this firefly synchronization scheme is reviewed and challenges related to the implementation in ad hoc networks are addressed. In particular, the effects of transmission delays and the constraint that a node cannot receive and transmit at the same time are studied.

Mobile ad hoc networks are networks composed of wireless devices to create a network with the ability for self-organization. These networks are designed as a new generation of computer networks to satisfy some specific requirements and with features different from wired networks. These networks have no fixed communication infrastructure and for communication with other nodes the intermediate no...
متن کاملFirefly-inspired and robust time synchronization for cognitive radio ad hoc networks
Harnessing the full power of the paradigm-shifting cognitive radio ad hoc networks (CRAHNs) hinges on solving the problem of time synchronization between the radios on the different stages of the cognitive radio cycle. The dynamic network topology, the temporal and spatial variations in spectrum availability, and the distributed multi-hop architecture of CRAHNs mandate novel solutions to achiev...
متن کاملFireflies Synchronization in Small Overlay Networks
Ad-hoc networks are very dynamic and nodes are entering and exiting network frequently. In such networks self-organization without centralized control is crucial for efficient network operation. To accomplish selforganization in small ad-hoc networks, the pulse-coupled oscillator model based on biological mutual synchronization such as that observed in flashing fireflies, is used. Fireflies are...
متن کاملFast, Bio-Inspired Synchronization of Periodic Events
The synchronization of periodic events is an important and useful primitive for many aspects of ad-hoc wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Achieving and maintaining this, however, is difficult due to the limited energy sources, imprecise clocks, and high failure rates that plague WSNs. A firefly synchronization model by Mirollo and Strogatz [9] has inspired several self-organizing synchronization ...
