A local optimum selection criterion for the physical neighbor connectivity of ad hoc networks

Abstract

According to the common underlying mathematical model of ad hoc networks introduced elsewhere, a selective network model is defined to analyze local node connectivity. Based on a system architecture with a predetermined number of independent and simultaneous links of each network node, the different optimization degrees of the selection of neighbors are presented. A higher relaying efficiency gives the main opportunity for an ad hoc net to be an essential part of a future networking system. The efficiency of a selective network connectivity is compared to pure range controlled connectivity.
