Ad hoc networks Base stations Computer science Feedback Mobile ad hoc networks Multicast algorithms Network topology Nominations and elections Protocols Relays Hardware and Architecture
Leader election and initialization are two fundamental problems in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The leader can serve as a coordinator in the MANETs and the initialization protocol can assign each host a unique and short id. We know that none of the research on initialization for IEEE 802.11-based MANETs has been done. Here, we propose two contention-based leader election and initialization protocols for IEEE 802.11-based single-hop MANETs. Simulation results show that our protocols are efficient.
