Abstract :
A self-organizing protocol is proposed for small ad hoc networks. Among this protocol´s original features is the initial creation of an asynchronous sparse tree topology followed by a transition to a more fully connected network and synchronous scheduling. An efficient address bundling technique and unique reliability simulation results for this protocol are also presented
