Two-Level Mobile Self-Organizing Network with Combined Operation Mode

Abstract

A combined method for constructing and operating a two-level mobile self-organizing network is proposed, based on the distribution of nodes across the transport and access levels, transferring them to peer-topeer and infrastructure operating modes, respectively. The method is distinguished by dividing the load sources of each transport node into two frequency collision domains, which increases the probability of successful random access to the transmission medium. This leads to a doubling of the used frequency band, but reduces the likelihood of frame loss and increases network throughput while maintaining the ability to self-organize and scale. The proposed method makes it possible to organize a two-level mobile self-organizing network with higher throughput compared to a single-level one operating in peer-to-peer mode, with the same frequency band and coverage area. Moreover, the effectiveness of the proposed method increases with the increase in the number of access nodes, since it leads to a decrease in the number of transport nodes in the transmission channel and the probability of data frame loss.
