CH B sends outHELLO packets to all the nodes that are in range with CH A, <strong>and</strong> checks if it is in rangewith any of the nodes. In this case, CH B is in range with node 6 <strong>and</strong> node 5, which are thecommon relay nodes for both CH B <strong>and</strong> CH A. Now, a new list with this information isavailable to CH B. (c) The list CH B created is sent to CH C. The same procedure of findingcommon relay node is carried out. Here, node 6 is selected as the relay node. By doing this,minimum numbers of nodes are selected as relay nodes <strong>and</strong> fewer paths are taken to the BS.overcome flooding. <strong>Ad</strong>ditionally, clusters are not formed outside the subnetworks.The next section presents the relay-node selection algorithm.8.8.2 Relay-Node Selection Algorithm1. The c<strong>and</strong>idate RNs from a CH are identified by sending HELLOpackets <strong>and</strong> receiving RESPONSE packets, as shown inFigure 8.21.2. The distances from all the nodes to the BS are compared. If thedistance from the node to the BS is greater than the distance fromthe CH to the BS, then that node is not selected as a c<strong>and</strong>idate relay
