Abstract:

This report presents a summary of the technical results of project SAMOYED (2003–2006). This three-year research project considered topics in hierarchical ad hoc networks, especially ad hoc access networks, with a focus on mobility management and security ssues. Results of the project include techniques for establishing and maintaining connectivity in ad hoc access networks; a novel method for dynamic local clustering and cluster-based routing in ad hoc networks; and requirements analysis and design of security architectures for clustered ad hoc networks. This report consists of a general overview of the topics studied in the project, and reprints of five of the project's publications.

Keywords:

ad hoc networks, mobility management, hybrid networks, ad hoc access networks, session continuity, global connectivity, multi-homing, Host Identity Protocol, tactical networks, clustering, cluster-based routing, security architectures
