Abstract
The topology of a MANET is maintained enduring transmission failures by suitably selecting multiple coordinators among the nodes constituting the MANET. The basic philosophy behind the algorithm is to isolate four coordinators based on positional data. Once elected, they are entrusted with the responsibility to emit signals of different frequencies while the other nodes individually decide the logic they need to follow in order to maintain the topology, thereby eliminating the need for routing. The algorithm is going to be formulated in such a way, that the entire network is going to move in one direction while each node can move freely. As far as our knowledge goes, we are the first ones to conceive the concept of multiple coordinators. The simulation results prove the efficacy of the scheme in topology maintenance.
