Topology modeling and network partitioning: an application to forest firefighting

Résumé

This contribution is about emergency networks and how to counter partitioning occurring in a mobile ad hoc network. Our approach is based on clustering where a distributed election process is run in order to iden- tify a node called clusterhead that will provide interconnection services with the rest of the network. While the election process is based on a pub- lished protocol called KCMBC, this contribution focuses on an aspect not covered by KCMBC, which is cluster maintenance. Cluster maintenance makes sure that the election process stays valid even though the partition topology changes: nodes join and leave the cluster. In this context, we propose and evaluate a maintenance protocol called passive maintenance that generates few control messages while maintaining cluster integrity. Because our solution is assessed by means of simulation, it is important to set a representative framework for evaluation. For this reason, the contri- bution starts with a discussion on network topology modeling. Different models that are used for representing forest firefighting are compared, considering simplicity and representativity.
