Abstract

Mobile ad hoc networks are wireless networks characterized by: limited bandwidth, shared transmission channel and the lack of central processing unit of administration and configuration. Most research related to Manet assures that host IP address is configured as the node joins the network. However, it is impossible to ensure that because there is no infrastructure. Therefore, an auto configuration scheme is needed to perform network management and to attribute connection parameters. Hence, we present a new distributed IP address configuration approach for Manet networks. Our solution provides a unique address allocation for each node in the network. The address assignment is assured under different network conditions including node failures, network partitioning and merging.
