A Review on FAP in Mobile Adhoc Networks

M. Harini ; M. Sri Lakshmi ; Dr. S. Prem kumar;

Mobile adhoc networks do not have fixed infrastructure. Nodes keep on joining and leaving the network dynamically. Assigning addresses for mobile nodes is a challenging task. The difficulty is even raised due to channel fading, partitions in network and dynamic joining and leaving of the nodes. Address collisions are quite a common problem in mobile adhoc networks. Autonomous addressing protocols are used here which indeed need a distributed self-organized mechanism. The
model under discussion uses filters to maintain a distributed database of addresses to configure mobile nodes in adhoc networks. It also aims at reducing control load and is resistant to packet losses and network partitions.
