Design Method Based on Routing Tree for Topology Update in Ad Hoc Network

摘要

A design method based on the tree-model structure for topology update is presented. The routing tree of every node in network is built by defining the data structure and is used to save the topology information of neighbor nodes. The node topology update is accomplished by exchanging their routing trees. For saving the precious wireless bandwidth, the routing tree is sparsely shaped before sending by pruning the redundant routing information. Then, the node topology update is implemented by using algorithms of inserting and deleting routing sub-trees.
