Virtual Base Stations for Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Communications: An Infrastructure for the Infrastructure-Less

Overview This paper proposes a new protocol for wireless mobile ad hoc networks, which establishes a dynamic wireless mobile infrastructure. The proposed protocol, namely, the Virtual Base Stations (VBS) protocol, mimics and maintains the operation of the conventional fixed infrastructure in cellular networks. In the VBS protocol, a mobile node is elected from a set of nominees to act as a temporary base station within its zone. The paper provides proofs for the correctness of the VBS protocol, and show lower and upper bounds for its global convergence time. Likewise, the paper studies the characteristics and performance of VBS by means of simulation.
