Mobile ad hoc networks are wireless networks characterized by: limited bandwidth, shared transmission channel and the lack of central processing unit of administration and configuration. Most research related to Manet assures that host IP address is configured as the node joins the network. However, it is impossible to ensure that because there is no infrastructure. Therefore, an auto configuration scheme is needed to perform network management and to attribute connection parameters. Hence, we present a new distributed IP address configuration approach for Manet networks. Our solution provides a unique address allocation for each node in the network. The address assignment is assured under different network conditions including node failures, network partitioning and merging.

Internet of Things (IoT) is increasingly deployed in different domains and environments including smart homes, smart cities, healthcare, industry 4.0, and smart agriculture, by connecting a large number of physical objects to deliver a new class of applications. The rising number of these connected objects and their heterogeneity have raised new research directions and challenges regarding their communications, scalability and the large amount of data that generate. As a result, new communication technologies have been proposed to be applied in these environments and applications, mainly to consider their main inherent properties which are the information that generate and handle, and the content that disseminate. Among the adopted techniques and recently integrated into the IoT is the ICN (Information Centric Networking) paradigm. The choice of integration of ICN in the context of IoT is mainly motivated by all the advantages it represents, in particular content caching and decoupling senders and receivers. In this paper, we provide a detailed analysis of the motivations behind using ICN in IoT environments and a survey of existing research work that have already applied ICN as a communication support for IoT applications.
