Autoconfiguration of mobile nodes is an important issue on self-organizing mobile adhoc network. Autoconfiguration is needed to identify mobile nodes in the network uniquely. This is a critical problem to assign unique IP addresses to the mobile nodes when two or more than two independent adhoc networks merges to form a single network. Because when two independent mobile adhoc networks are merged then it may be possible that these independent networks have the nodes with a common IP address which results in IP address conflict. Most of the approaches available in the literature for autoconfiguration of IP addresses are based on single mobile adhoc network. In this paper we have proposed a new methodology for autoconfiguration of mobile nodes in the case of merging.
