Abstract:

Analysis of the mechanism of complex networks and wireless ad hoc networks shows that wireless ad hoc networks under certain conditions have complex network effects. A control strategy for multi-radio nodes is proposed based on the feasibility of small-world wireless ad hoc networks with multiple radio nodes. Taking into consideration the node design, the deployment of multi-radio nodes is controlled according to the network
environment and clustering coefficient of the nodes. The results show that the proposed method optimizes the network topology, and increases the network’s robustness. It has theoretical and practical significance to further network optimization.

Key words: complex networks, ad hoc networks, multi-radio, small-word model
