A Peer to Peer Overlay Approach for Topology Maintenance in Wireless Networks

Over the Internet today, computing and communications environments are signif icantly more complex and confusion than classical distributed systems, lacking any centralized organization or hierarchical control. Heuristic algorithm is used to maintaining a topology in wireless peer to peer networks. Here the topology of the Mobile Ad Hoc Netw ork (MANET) is maintained via peer to peer overlay nodes. During mobility localization and node movement are the major issues. To solve these issues a new approach is proposed named as “TMP – Topology Maintenance in MANET using Peer to peer overlay nodes” based on distributed and localized computing, to predict the node position in a topology tree. The performance of the proposed method is analyzed in stable and mobile conditions by analyzing power consumption, active nodes, active links, hop stretch, packet delivery ratio, network life time and other Qos parameters.
