Equational Reasoning on Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

We provide an equational theory for Restricted Broadcast Process Theory to reason about ad hoc networks. We exploit an extended algebra called Computed Network Theory to axiomatize restricted broadcast. It allows one to define the behavior of an ad hoc network with respect to the underlying topologies. We give a sound and ground-complete axiomatization for CNT terms with finite-state behavior, modulo what we call rooted branching computed network bisimilarity.
