Angle-Aware Broadcasting Techniques for Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

摘要

In this study, cover angle-based broadcasting techniques are proposed for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) to minimize redundancy, contention and collision known as broadcast storm problem in the literature. The propose techniques uses only cover angle concept for rebroadcast decision without using neighbors knowledge information`s or complex calculations. Through the analysis and extensive simulations, the results reveal the cover angle-based broadcasting techniques exhibits superior performance in term of both delivery ratio and number of retransmission. The propose techniques are fully distributed, simple and can be easily implemented in MANETs.
