Balanced Topology Constructions in the NEMO

Abstract

As we know, mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a wireless network without any fixed infrastructure. All nodes must communicate with each other by a routing protocol. Most of routing protocols don't consider allocating an IP address to nodes. However, in network mobility (NEMO), all nodes can't only communicate with Internet using Bi-directional tunneling but also can be allocated an IP address. In this paper, we propose two kinds of algorithms to reconstruct MANET to NEMO. Additionally, a novel load balancing solution is proposed. We add the load information into the router advertisement (RA) message. The simulation results show that the proposed solution has improved the connection throughput significantly.
