Address Allocation Mechanisms for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is an independent self-organizing network, in which each node functions as an end host and a wireless relay. This form of wireless network is created by mobile nodes without any existing or fixed infrastructure. The nodes in the MANET need mutually exclusive identities before participating in any form of communication; in particular, each end host in the MANET needs to be uniquely addressed so that the packets can be relayed hop by hop and delivered ultimately to the destination. The mobility of the nodes, however, makes address allocation a challenging task in MANETs.
