Role based approach for effective connections in backbone of self organized wireless networks

Abstract

This paper deals with the various roles that can be recognized in self organized wireless devices. Wireless network which demands for a higher level of self organization, proposes strategies of creating backbone, requires identifying various roles which each participating device is playing. In this approach the efficient way to identify the roles and devices that can perform appropriate roles suitably is identified to yield a complex global emergent behavior. Various roles are identified like agents, willingness to act as a gateway, gateways etc. A minimum connection in backbone of self organized network avoids unnecessary broadcasting and in turn energy savings can be achieved. Proposed strategy assigns roles to devices by identifying inconsistency in duplicate gateways and tries to minimize unnecessary broadcast with effective connections. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH Berlin Heidelberg.
