Method and system for dynamically updating ARP cache tables in an ad hoc network
First Claim
1. A method for dynamically updating address information tables in an ad hoc network, comprising:
- detecting whether protocol addresses of terminals are duplicated and changing the protocol addresses of at least one of the terminals having the duplicate protocol addresses from a previously used protocol address to a new currently used protocol address;
by a terminal whose protocol address has changed, transmitting information on the previously used protocol address and transmitting a hardware address of the terminal whose protocol address has changed, to neighboring terminals; and
by the neighboring terminals that have received the address information, updating the address information tables in accordance with the received information.

Abstract
A method and system for dynamically updating information registered in ARP cache tables of other terminals in a case where a protocol address of a terminal existing in an ad hoc network changes. The method includes detecting whether protocol addresses of terminals are duplicated and changing the protocol addresses of some of the terminals having the duplicate protocol addresses; by a terminal whose protocol address has changed, transmitting information on the previously used protocol address and its own hardware address to neighboring terminals; updating the address information tables in accordance with the received information; by a terminal whose protocol address has not changed among the terminals having the duplicate protocol addresses, transmitting its own address information to the neighboring terminals; and by the neighboring terminals that has received the address information in the fourth step, updating the address information tables in accordance with the received information.

15. A system for dynamically updating address information tables in an ad hoc network, comprising:
-
a first terminal whose protocol address is changed from a previously used protocol address to a new currently used protocol address using an automatic address assignment function on the ad hoc network when the protocol address thereof is duplicated; and
neighboring terminals located within positions where the neighboring terminals can communicate directly with the first terminal, wherein the first terminal transmits information on the previously used protocol address and its own hardware address, and the neighboring terminals update the address information tables in accordance with the received information. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
