- Steps need to discover the neighbors in MANET
Sir
I want to what are the basic steps need to discover the neighbors for a given set of nodes with a transmission radius.
This involves discovery of neighbors in transmission radius by sending the messages about level, node ID and time stamp from a initial root node.
The receiving nodes will update its level and send message to the neighbors in the range except the first it receive the message.
My doubt is how to proceed and build the necessary environment. Where do I need to make the changes in file, or need to create some file (.cc, .h) in which folders of NS2.
Please guide me.
There are many ways to get/prepare a neighbor list at a node. For example,
1) at routing layer (example: you may enable hello mechanism in AODV and resolve neighbor list at a node)
2) at mac layer (like the way in which it is done in SMAC)
3) directly getting the information from GOD (this should be done only for statistical purposes – not for using that information in protocol desigh – but most people wrongly handle this information in their protocol design)
