Auto-configuration protocols in mobile ad hoc networks.

TLDR
This article reviews the major proposed auto-configuration protocols for mobile ad hoc networks, with particular emphasis on one of the most recent: D2HCP, and compares them by specifying the most relevant metrics.
Abstract
The TCP/IP protocol allows the different nodes in a network to communicate by associating a different IP address to each node. In wired or wireless networks with infrastructure, we have a server or node acting as such which correctly assigns IP addresses, but in mobile ad hoc networks there is no such centralized entity capable of carrying out this function. Therefore, a protocol is needed to perform the network configuration automatically and in a dynamic way, which will use all nodes in the network (or part thereof) as if they were servers that manage IP addresses. This article reviews the major proposed auto-configuration protocols for mobile ad hoc networks, with particular emphasis on one of the most recent: D2HCP. This work also includes a comparison of auto-configuration protocols for mobile ad hoc networks by specifying the most relevant metrics, such as a guarantee of uniqueness, overhead, latency, dependency on the routing protocol and uniformity.

SALMA: an efficient state-based hybrid routing protocol for mobile nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks

TL;DR: A new hybrid routing protocol, named as State-Aware Link Maintenance Approach (SALMA), is introduced which is based on Dynamic Source Routing and Optimized Link State Routing protocols and gives improvements in some quality of service metrics like lower delay than DSR, lower routing overhead than OLSR, and lesser energy consumption by the network nodes.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6)

TL;DR: The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 enables DHCP servers to pass configuration parameters such as IPv6 network addresses to IPv6 nodes and can be used separately or concurrently with the latter to obtain configuration parameters.
