Broadcast is a fundamental operation used in Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) for many services, such as route discovery and sending information messages. The direct method to perform broadcast is a simple flooding, which can decrease the performance of MANET. Recently, a probabilistic approach to flooding has been proposed as one of most important suggested solutions to solve the broadcast storm problem, which leads to the collision, contention and duplicated messages. This paper presents the Smart Probabilistic Broadcasting (SPB) as a new probabilistic method to improve the performance of existing on-demand routing protocols by reducing the RREQ overhead during the rout discovery operation. The simulation results show that the combination of AODV and a suitable probabilistic rout discovery can reduce the average end-to-end delay as well as overhead, while achieving low normalized routing load, compared to AODV that uses fixed probability and blind flooding. Simulation experiments have been conducted to examine our proposed scheme. The results show that SPB outperforms its counterparts and opens up a promising framework towards optimal probabilistic broadcasting.A new probabilistic broadcasting scheme for mobile ad hoc 197
In VANETs, there are many applications that use broadcast communication as a fundamental operational tool, in disseminating information of interest to other road users under the umbrella of both safety and entertainment applications. Recently, the probabilistic broadcasting scheme is suggested as an efficient broadcast approach. Although a number of probabilistic schemes found in the literature, they still suffer from a high level of rebroadcast redundancy, which often leads to the Broadcast Storm Problem (BSP). Thus, in this paper a new efficient probabilistic broadcast scheme is developed, to target both achieving a high delivery ratio and reducing broadcast redundancy. Using simulation experiment, we compared the performance of the proposed scheme against the recent well known probabilistic schemes and our results confirm the superiority of our scheme over existing schemes in terms of key performance metrics, namely Reachability (RE) and Saved Rebroadcast (SR).
