Estimating the term…
In general, an Internet gateway assigns an address to a node of an ad-hoc network on receipt of request for an address assignment. However, a load exerted to the Internet gateway increases. Accordingly, one (proxy node) of the nodes of an ad-hoc network can serve as a proxy node to perform an address assignment function of the Internet gateway. That is, if a node of the ad-hoc node does not receive an advertisement message, it requests the Internet gateway for address assignment to perform the proxy node function. The node is assigned with at least two addresses from the Internet gateway, and then assigns the address to the requesting node. Accordingly, a load exerted to the Internet gateway can be reduced.
A method in which a node of an ad-hoc network requests an address assignment, said method comprising:
A method in which a first node of an ad-hoc network requests an address assignment, said method comprising:
The method as claimed in 7, wherein the at least two second addresses comprise at least one bit, and the first node transmits the second addresses to the requesting at least one node, the second addresses having a bit value different from a previously assigned bit value.
A method in which an Internet gateway assigns an address to a node of an ad-hoc network, the method comprising:
