A Transformation Scheme for Interconnection Networks

摘要

Recently, as the researches on home networks and sensor networks are strongly focused, a great interest in wireless ad-hoc networks is taken. A wireless ad-hoc network is a temporal network formed by a collection of wireless mobile nodes without the aid of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration, and it is suitable for ubiquitous computing environments. In this paper, we suggest a transformation scheme of packets between Mobile-IP and routing protocol in a wireless ad-hoc network. This scheme provides the Internet service to mobile hosts in a wireless ad-hoc network, and those mobile hosts have no overhead of it because base stations take the responsibility of the transformation procedure. Even though a route inevitably fails during a specific service, our proposed scheme reduces the overhead of route request flooding and of route re-establishments and re-registers by maintaining node/link non-disjoint multi-path between a mobile node and a base station.
