Research into the Agent-Get Problem in Multi-hop Cellular Networkt

Combination of the wireless ad-hoc network and the future cellular mobile communication system represents the future development trend of wireless network. This paper divides the necessity of introducing ad-hoc mode into three aspects: Forming Local Networks, Virtual Cellular Fission and Virtual Cellular Expansion .A distributed agent-get algorithm based on hop count is proposed to study the Agent-get problem. Simulation analyses of the effects of each parameter on the Agent-Got probability in the situation of single cellular are conducted based on this algorithm. Through extensive simulations, we show that enlarging the radius of the cellular and the nodes´ transmission radius can effectively increase the Agent-Got probability, and increasing the hop-limit can effectively improve the Agent-Got probability only when the hop-limit is comparatively small.
