| Popis: | 97 Information Appliances (IAs) are devices which not only have the capability to communicate with other wireless-enabled facilities but provide user-friendly operating interface. With the pervasion of IAs, the communication among IAs may be no more restricted by infrastructure devices. They may establish self-organized wireless Ad Hoc network topology to increase scalability. However, there’s still no adequate algorithm to help IAs establish effective Ad Hoc Network topology. Our research provides an Ad Hoc Network Clustering Mechanism for IA. This mechanism comprises a clustering algorithm which is called IAdNCA. IAdNCA divides IAs into clusters, and a Leader Node is elected for each cluster to be in charge of cluster maintenance and authentication. Besides the functionality mentiond above, our mechanism as well adopts Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to make users easily configure security settings of IAs Through the security analysis, our clustering mechanism is proved to fulfill the security requirement. In addition, through the stability analysis, IadNCA makes average effevtive topology maintenance time 20% better than other Ad Hoc clustering algorithms. Based on the results of analysis, our mechanism manifests its own stability and security. |
