Abstract
A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) can be implemented anywhere where there is little or no communication infrastructure, or the existing infrastructure is inconvenient to use. Dynamic and distributed address management is required due to host mobility and lack of central administration in MANETs. Many address management schemes have been proposed for this type of network but these are not without their problems. In this paper, we present distributed algorithms for new host configuration, address reclamation, MANET partition and MANETs merging. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed mechanisms are simple, efficient and reliable in comparison to existing mechanisms.
