A Power and Load-Aware Algorithm for Constructing Minimal Connected Dominating Sets in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks
Communication among mobile nodes in a MANET (mobile ad-hoc network) is multi-hop
i.e.
it is performed via a chain of mobile nodes.It suffers from break due to power exhaustion or movement of the mobile nodes staying in the chain.An algorithm for constructing a minimal CDS (Connected Dominating Set) is proposed to solve the problem.Being aware of power and load of mobile nodes
the proposed algorithm can reduce both the probability of communication route breakage resulting from exhaustion of mobile nodes’ power and the delay time of packets to be forwarded in intermediate nodes of a communication route.Additionally
it is significant for designing robust and effective routing strategies in MANETs.
