Abstract
An adhoc network is composed of geographically dispersed nodes that may move arbitrarily and communicate with each other without the support of a stationary infrastructure. Compared with a wireless network with a stationary infrastructure, such as a cellular network, an adhoc network is inherently less efficient. Therefore, a number of proposals have been made to develop a quasi-stationary infrastructure for adhoc networks. However, the dynamic nature of adhoc networks makes it very .costly to maintain such an infrastructure. This article proposes a Vertex-Linked Infrastructure (VLI) for adhoc networks. This novel approach uses an easily deployable, survivable, wired infrastructure as a backbone of the adhoc network, thus realizing the advantages of an infrastructure in wireless communications, but without the overhead due to maintaining such an infrastructure.
