The paper introduces a hierarchical structure for ad hoc wireless networks that classifies nodes into Backbone Capable Nodes (BCNs) and Regular Nodes (RNs). Under the TBONE protocol, a Backbone network (Bnet) is formed by dynamically electing Backbone Nodes (BNs) among BCNs. However the current TBONE protocol requires global topological information to elect and de-elect BNs, which can induce high control message overhead and slow down the Bnet layout adaptation process.
