Abstract

The Minimum Connected Dominating Set (MCDS) reduces the number of messages to destinations and the finding MCDS is considered as a NP-hard problem. Alzoubi's approximation algorithm is known as the best in terms of message-optimal CDS construction, but not for mobility management. We present a message-efficient mobility management scheme based on distributed spanning trees. The proposed method may generate more messages than Alzoubi's for message delivery, but it consumes significantly fewer messages for mobility management (to the ratio of 2.5). Thus, when highly mobile networks are assumed, the proposed scheme outperforms Alzoubi's in terms of total number of messages.
