Area-based connected dominating set construction and maintenance algorithm in ubiquitous stub environment

In order to construct and maintain stability Connected Dominating Set over MANET in Ubiquitous Stub Network, this paper proposes a novel area-based CDS construction and maintenance algorithm. The algorithm is divided into three phases: 1) Area Partition; 2) Area Expansion; 3) Area Connection. In additional, maintenance strategy is proposed in each phase respectively to handle node mobility with timer. At last, the simulation is implemented with OPNET and MATLAB and the results are analyzed in detailed with Size of CDS, Message Overhead and other indexes.
