Manager Election Protocol Simulation

We tested the Manager Election Protocol in different deployment scenarios, with a number of nodes ranging from 50 to 550 (in steps of 20). The dimensions of corresponding ES/IS were scaled so as to maintain the same density in all simulations. They were set as in tables in the Boundary Identification Protocol

Participants were distributed so that the IS density was 8 time greater than the ES density. This means that 65% ca. of participants was placed within the IS. The number of neighbors required for belonging to the dense MANET was set to 11. This value was experimentally obtained to make the dense MANET bounds almost coincide with IS bounds. Other parameters were set as follows:

• Overhead
• Accuracy
