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 - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 13A Distributed Backbone Formation Algorithm for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks(Springer Verlag, 2006) Dağdeviren, Orhan; Erciyeş, KayhanConstruction of a backbone architecture is an important issue in mobile ad hoc networks(MANET)s to ease routing and resource management. We propose a new fully distributed algorithm for backbone formation in MANETs that constructs a directed ring architecture. We show the operation of the algorithm, analyze its message complexity and provide results in the simulation environment of ns2. Our results conform that the algorithm is scalable in terms of its running time and roundtrip delay against mobility, surface area, number of nodes and number of clusterheads.
