Abstract:

The main challenges in MANET are reliability, bandwidth and battery power. Broadcasting is important in MANET for routing information discovery. The broadcast operation as a fundamental service in mobile ad hoc networks is prone to the broadcast storm problem if forwarding nodes are not carefully designated. This paper proposes a simple broadcast algorithm called double-covered broadcast algorithm which takes advantage of broadcast redundancy to improve the delivery ratio in an environment that has rather high transmission error rate. Only a set of selected nodes will forward the broadcast message. The selected nodes called the forwarding nodes must satisfy the following two requirements: i)The sender’s 2-hop neighbors are covered and ii)The sender’s 1-hop neighbors are either forwarding nodes or non-forwarding nodes covered by atleast two forwarding neighbors. The retransmission of the forwarding nodes are received by the sender as the confirmation of their reception of the packet. The nonforwarding neighbors do not acknowledge the reception of the broadcast. The proposed algorithm has many matrices such as balancing the average retransmission redundancy, avoid broadcast storm problem,recovering the transmission error locally and increasing the broadcast delivery ratio in a high transmission error rate environment.
