AD HOC NETWORKS: FILTER BASED ADDRESSING PROTOCOL

Tanaya Mehendale, Y.D.Chincholkar

Abstract: Wireless networks are becoming more popular now-a-days. These networks can either be infrastructure based or infrastructure less networks. The infrastructure networks have a base station or central point of co-ordination. But in infrastructure less networks the base station or central point of contact is not present. They are termed as ad hoc networks. These networks dynamically change their topology and do not have any central point of contact. Main applications of such networks include rescue operations where laying down of wires is not possible, military applications or battle field operations. Addressing is a key issue in such type of networks. As they change their topology dynamically and also face frequent partition and merging events assigning addresses in such a network is a key issue. In this paper a dynamic addressing scheme which is dependent or filters is considered which assigns addresses to the nodes in the ad hoc network

Keywords: Ad hoc networks, AODV, Dynamic addressing protocol, Filter Signature, Hashing, and Sequence filter.
