Routing in a large-scale ad hoc network using a topology management device and a location management device

摘要

A mobile communication system (1) is constructed including a plurality of cluster heads (10a), cluster members (10b), a topology management device (20), and a location management device (30). Each cluster head (10a) exchanges routing information with only each cluster member in a cluster to which the terminal itself (host terminal) belongs, and with only a cluster head in another cluster adjacent to the cluster to which the host terminal belongs. Each cluster member (10b) exchanges routing information with only a cluster head in a cluster to which the host terminal belongs. The topology management device (20) and location management device (30) receive the routing information from each cluster head only.
