METHOD FOR DISCOVERING NEIGHBORHOOD FOR MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for discovering the neighboring nodes of a mobile ad hoc network(MANET) is provided to verify the loss of HELLO packets by comparing a node received HELLO packet and a transmitting node broadcasting the HELLO packet. CONSTITUTION: A receiving node receives a HELLO packet(210). The receiving node compares self-position information with the position information of a transmitting node, which broadcasts the HELLO packet. Based on the comparison result, the loss of the HELLO packet is verified(230). If the loss of the HELLO packet is verified, the receiving node requests the transmitting node to re-transmit the HELLO packet(240).
