Mobility management in Voronoi based cell structure for wireless networks

The multihop based Voronoi cell structure provides the least energy consumption in the communication infrastructure if the nodes within the Voronoi cell are static. In other words, the architecture does not perform well if the nodes move around, which is common in many real applications. In addition, the dynamic nature of mobile nodes in Voronoi cell leads to edge disconnections during the data transmission that result in heavy packet loss. In this paper, we are motivated by these problems and refine the architecture. We contribute to the paper by adopting the inter-cell mobility management and intra-cell mobility management to the multihop based Voronoi cell architecture. We simulate the proposed architecture in ns2 and show the results of these architectures for comparison.
