Abstract
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are autonomous and infrastructureless networks that support multi-hops wireless communications among mobile hosts. Autoconfiguration of hosts is an important open problem in self-organizing MANETs. Additionally, providing global Internet connectivity to MANETs is a strong trend nowadays, so the mobile hosts must be configured with a global IP address. In this paper, we propose an IPv6 address autoconfiguration protocol which uses mobile host’s geographic location information and time information gained from GPS receiver as the unique metrics to construct the unique Interface ID of IPv6 address. This addressing protocol makes the duplicate address detection (DAD) operation be bounded in one hop broadcast, so we call it as “one hop-DAD”, which reduces the overhead of address configuration and the address allocation latency very much.
