Outline • Mobile, Distributed, Wireless Networks • Time Division Multiple Access • Algorithm for adding a New Node • How well does this algorithm work? • Conclusions
What Is A ? Mobile, Distributed, Wireless Network • All network nodes are mobile • No permanent network infrastructure • No centralized control • Variable terrain and propagation conditions • Network topology can be irregular Regular Irregular
Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) • Time is divided into fixed-length time slots • In one time slot, a node may transmit or receive 1 message • Collisions prevent a node from receiving a message
TDMA – Collision Types Collision Type 1: two neighbors transmit at the same time Collision Type 2: one node has two neighbors transmit at the same time

The New Node Algorithm • When a New Node powers up, it: • Listens to network to find out who neighbors are • Announces its presence by “shouting” • Waits while neighbors quiet down their neighbors • Exchanges transmission scheduling information • Modifies schedule as needed to improve efficiency
How Is the Algorithm Tested? • Goals for New Node Algorithm: • Convergence - completion time • 2) Success - new node knows all about neighbors • - neighbors know all about new node Tested by: 1) Randomly generated networks 2) Variable Density (avg. # of neighbors)
How Does the Algorithm Work? (2) Soft failure: Node has all neighbors, but information about cycle size is wrong or 2 neighbors are not deferring Hard failure: Node failed to detect all neighbors
Conclusions • Algorithm takes longer to complete in dense networks • Algorithm is more reliable in dense networks • Chance of having undetected neighbors (hard failure) is small • Complete success (no failures) is much harder to achieve for some network densities than others
Future Work • Finish the algorithm • Test the algorithm more extensively • Develop alternative algorithms • Improve simulation software
