Broadcasting algorithm based on successful broadcasting ratio of neighbor nodes in mobile ad hoc networks

摘要

To address the broadcast storm and the broadcast unreliability problem, a broadcast algorithm based on successful broadcasting ratio of neighbor nodes (BSRN) which is a hybrid algorithm combining mechanisms of probability based algorithms and neighbor knowledge based algorithms is proposed. The broadcast forwarding probability is determined according to the average successful broadcasting ratio of neighbor nodes. As a result, the broadcast reliability is enhanced. Meanwhile, the redundant transmissions are reduced and thus broadcast storm is mitigated. The simulation results show that BSRN can increase the reachability and reduce delay.
