Abstract
Following the introduction of the notion of Autonomic Cooperative Behaviour (ACB) in the previous chapter, the bottom-up description of the proposed Autonomic Cooperative System Architectural Model (ACSAM) is continued with the outlining of the workings of the Autonomic Cooperative Networking Protocol (ACNP). In fact, the ACNP protocol is a cross-layer solution which is may be perceived as a bit biased towards the Network Layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model (RM), however, on the other hand, it is profoundly rooted in the Distributed Spatio-Temporal Block Coding (DSTBC) of the Link Layer, in fact, going down even to the Physical Layer when the orchestration of the underlying Virtual Multiple Input Multiple Output (VMIMO) is concerned. In particular, once the motivation for the said cross-layering has been explained, the relevant context of the Optimised Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol is introduced to form the basis for its extension, the Autonomic Cooperative Networking Protocol. Following, the integration of the tightly related ACB is described with a special emphasis on its composition with the aid of the Multi-Point Relay (MPR) station selection heuristics. This part is complemented with the proposed messaging structure along with the detailing of the functioning of ACNP itself in terms of assigning Autonomic Cooperative Nodes (ACNs) to Virtual Cooperative Sets (VCSs). Eventually, the analysis of the expected overhead induced by the OLSR-ACNP tandem is carried out to establish the region of safe and efficient operation.

Notes
- 1.
Also known as protocol overhead or protocol control overhead.
- 2.
While 16 and 8 zeros would be expected, respectively, the specification provides solely a zeroed sequence of the length of 13 [5].
- 3.
As defined in the specification, C is a constant scaling factor [5].
- 4.
One should note, however, that should the willingness be set to 0, a given node must never be selected as an MPR station, whereas, on the contrary, in the case of willingness equal to 7, such a node must always be selected an MPR station.
- 5.
For additional details on this technology the reader is referred directly to [6].
- 6.
This way, the proposed Autonomic Cooperative Networking Protocol additionally goes beyond the Link Layer, down to the Physical Layer.
- 7.
A question remains open, however, whether such a structure could be still called a Link Message [15].
- 8.
This additionally implies that the Generalised Hello Message could be more applicable, however, it would come at the cost of losing the backward compatibility with the original OLSR protocol.
- 9.
For further information on the repositories of the OLSR protocol the reader is referred directly to the specification [5].
