Abstract

To solve the problem that multi-round and multi-slot Hello-Reply scheme takes a long time to discover all neighbors due to its multiple parameters and difficulty in optimization, this paper proposes an optimal multi-round and multi-slot (o-MRMS) Hello-Reply algorithm, which theoretically proves and reduces the total time and round number of the algorithm for neighbor discovery, effectively reducing discovery time, and combined with the existing discovery protocol. Simulation results show that compared with a fixed slot number Hello-Reply algorithm, the total neighbor discovery time in the proposed optimal multi-round and multi-slot Hello-Reply algorithm is reduced by about 50\(\%\). Compared with the DANDi protocol [3], discovery efficiency increased with the node number, when the node number is 256, the discovery time reduced by approximately 25\(\%\). It can be combined with the existing neighbor discovery protocol, which verifies its feasibility and efficiency.
