A Multihop Rendezvous Protocol for Cognitive Radio-based Emergency Response Network
🤖 AI Summary
This work addresses the inefficiency of multihop node discovery and prolonged rendezvous times in cognitive radio emergency response networks by proposing the Multihop Dual-Mode Clock Algorithm (M-DMCA). The approach introduces, for the first time in multihop cognitive radio networks, a coordinated mechanism that integrates dual-channel selection with a clock module, enhanced by a three-way handshake protocol and a dynamic channel selection strategy to significantly accelerate the rendezvous process. Under stringent conditions—including a 20-node network and high primary user activity—M-DMCA reduces worst-case rendezvous time by 24% compared to the EMCA algorithm, demonstrating superior performance over existing protocols.

📝 Abstract
This letter proposes a novel Multihop Dual Modular Clock Algorithm (M-DMCA) for efficient node discovery in cognitive radio-based emergency response networks. M-DMCA supports dual-channel selection per timeslot and incorporates a three-way handshake mechanism to significantly reduce rendezvous time. Performance evaluation under a worst-case scenario with 20 nodes, asymmetric channel sets of size 20, channel similarity index (m) as 2, and high primary radio activity shows that M-DMCA achieves a 24% reduction in rendezvous time compared to the multihop Extended Modular Clock Algorithm (EMCA), outperforming existing rendezvous protocols.
