Revisit Consensus in a Dual Fallible Clustered-MANET

Abstract

在隨意式無線網路的環境中，經常會因為傳輸媒介的損毀或雜訊的干擾，以致影響相關應用的執行。為了要提昇隨意式無線網路的可靠度，本研究在一個階層式的隨意式無線網路上探討合議問題。期望藉由合議值的達成，使系統的容錯能力得以提昇。本研究所提出的協定，可以使用最少次數的資訊交換，即能獲致最高之容錯能力。

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) may suffer from various types of transmission medium (TM) failure. In order to enhance the fault-tolerance and reliability of the MANETs, the consensus problem in the MANET model based on hierarchical clustering structure (clustered-MANET) is revisited in this paper. The proposed protocol is called Dual Consensus Protocol (DCP), which can make each correct mobile node reach a common value to cope with the faulty component in the clustered-MANET.
