Conference Object Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 20A Hierarchical Leader Election Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks(Springer Verlag, 2008) Dağdeviren, Orhan; Erciyeş, KayhanLeader Election is an important problem in mobile ad hoc networks and in distributed computing systems. In this study, we propose a hierarchical, cluster based protocol to elect a leader in a mobile ad hoc network. The initial phase of the protocol employs a clustering algorithm to group nodes of the network after which a leader for a cluster(clusterhead) is elected. The second phase is performed by forming a connected ring of these leaders using the Ring Formation Algorithm. Finally, Chang Roberts Leader Election Algorithm for rings is employed in the final phase to elect the super-leader among the clusterheads. We provide performance results of this protocol for various mobility parameters and analyze its time and message complexities.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1A Software Architecture for Shared Resource Management in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks(Springer Verlag, 2007) Dağdeviren, Orhan; Erciyeş, KayhanWe propose a three layer software architecture for shared resource management in mobile ad hoc networks(MANETs). At the lowest layer, the Merging Clustering Algorithm(MCA)[ll] partitions the MANET into a number of balanced clusters periodically. At the second layer, the Backbone Formation Algorithm(BFA) provides a virtual ring using the clusterheads found by MCA. Finally, an example resource management protocol which is a modified and scaled version of the Ricart-Agrawala algorithm implemented using the virtual ring structure is presented with the performance results.
