METHOD FOR MERGING TWO SUB-NETWORKS INTO A SINGLE AD HOC NETWORK IMPLEMENTING THE D2HCP PROTOCOL

摘要

This method for merging two sub-networks (20, 21) of an ad hoc network implementing the D2HCP routing protocol comprises: • transmitting (40) a first data set (ENS1) from the master node (NMA) to the slave node (NEs), said first set (ENS1) comprising: • the identifiers (IDj) of all the nodes of the sub-network containing the master node (NMA); • the IP addresses of all the nodes of the sub-network containing the master node (NMA), each node identifier being associated with a single IP address; • comparing (COMP2) each received IP address of the first set (ENS1) with the IP addresses of the routing table of the slave node (NEs) in order to identify a list of duplicates corresponding to nodes of each sub-network having the same IP addresses.
