  Abstract

As it becomes increasingly important that Internet access is available anywhere at any time, providing MANET (Mobile Ad-Hoc Network) with the Internet access attracts more attention. The existing DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) address configuration schemes require message exchanges between MANET nodes and the DHCP server through multi-hop routes. Messages can be easily dropped in the wireless multi-hop communication environment and the address configuration may be instable and need long delay. In this paper, we propose a new address configuration scheme using the concept of address pool allocation. In the proposed scheme, the DHCP server assigns a part of its address pool to a node instead of a single address and the node can assign a part of its own address pool to its neighbor nodes. Through simulation studies, we show that our scheme yields about 77% of the address configuration delay and 61% of the control message overhead of the existing DHCP based mechanism.
