This paper presents a novel effective scheme of configuring
Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs), called
Master-driven Connection Control (MaCC). WPANs are
based on a new wireless technology, which enables portable
and mobile computing devices, and consumer electronic appliances
to communicate with each other. Assuming that
WPANs operate in a master-slave style, we exploit the information
about master-slave relationships for identifying
a network topology in an ad hoc fashion. Specifically,
MaCC supports routing, providing the minimum-hop paths
that cannot be obtained by flooding algorithms. In addition,
it constructs the optimal topology on demand along the
minimum-hop paths dynamically, because the performance
of routing is dependent on network topologies. These functions
need only a few control messages to achieve, and so
can avoid excessive message propagation by flooding causing
frame collisions in the WPANs.
MaCC has several prominent features: self-direction of
every node, adaptive formation of networks, and minimization
of hop counts for routing control. In this paper, we describe
the details of MaCC and analyze its overhead about
initialization, routing discovery, and reconfiguration. The
results show control messages propagated in a MaCC network
at route discovery are reduced to less than one half of
those in a network utilizing pure flooding.
