An approach towards developing tower of Hanoi sequence based distributed multi-channel parallel rendezvous for ad hoc networks

Abstract

In recent days parallel rendezvous for multi-channel medium access seems to be a prominent technique, that includes both fast and slow procedure for channel rendezvous using half-duplex radio Usually in slow procedure, a node (typically while receiving) switches from one channel to another very slowly, whereas the same node (while attempting for transmission) switches to another channel very quickly Motivating with the idea of parallel rendezvous, this paper proposes a Tower of Hanoi (ToH) sequence based distributed multi-channel rendezvous procedure for wireless medium access operation The proposed approach increases the possibility of channel rendezvous amongst wireless nodes and decreases the congestion problem due to failure of proper channel rendezvous. Furthermore, ToH sequence needs less iteration time for rendezvous among the nodes in compare to Pseudo Random Sequence (SRS) based channel swithching. The proposed work is modeled and analyzed and the performances provide a better result than pseudo random sequence-based approach.
