Abstract

Ad hoc networks may not be suitable for "non ad hoc" applications due to resource, mobility, traffic pattern and incompatible wireless MAC protocols issues. We propose the Hierarchical Mobile Wireless Network for providing flexible and scalable network services to these applications. In such a system, mobile hosts are organized into hierarchical groups. Four basic operations that are used to set up and maintain the network structure are described. An efficient protocol for group membership management is discussed. The Segmented Membership-based Group Routing protocol is presented. In this routing protocol, only local message exchanging is required. Simulation-based experiments confirm the scalability of our design.
