In multihop cellular network environments, the mobility of nodes is a major obstacle to find a reliable routing path between a mobile node (MN) and the access node (AN). Therefore, in this paper, we propose a fast and reliable neighbor discovery protocol that enables the fast and reliable neighbor discovery by considering the node mobility in the multihop cellular network. The proposed neighbor discovery protocol inhibits the transmission of unnecessary control messages to quickly find a suitable neighbor node (NN) and performs a priority-based access control to transmit control messages without collision in the order of NN desirable to be selected. Simulation results show that the proposed neighbor discovery protocol can discover the NNs faster than the conventional scheme and select a more reliable relay node although the number of neighbor nodes increases and the node mobility increases.
