Θ(1) Time Algorithm for Master Selection in Ad-hoc Wireless Networks

This paper details a hardware implementation of distributed Θ(1) time algorithm allows to select dynamically the master device in ad-hoc or cluster-based networks constant regardless number devices same cluster. The each automatically detect its own status; slave; based on identifier without adding extra overheads exchanging packets that slow down network. We propose baseband design implements functions and we detail using Matlab/Simulink Ettus B210 USRP. Tests held laboratory prove works as expected.
