Intra-team multi-hop broadcasting (ITMB): a MAC layer protocol for efficient control signaling in wireless ad-hoc networks

An efficient reliable broadcasting protocol for wireless mobile ad hoc networks

“…Most of the above referenced protocols [6,9,12,15,17,16,19,20,[22][23][24][25] do not guarantee a 100% delivery of the broadcast message to all hosts. The protocol proposed in [2] can achieve 100% delivery in deterministic time slots, but is TDMAbased which is difficult to implement in multi-hop ad hoc networks.…”

“…The protocol is mobility-transparent and can complete in a deterministic number of time slots, but the maximum degree of the network must be known in advance. An intra-team broadcast protocol is proposed in [9] that uses a minimum spanning tree or a minimum node cover set as the backbone for broadcasting, so a global topology has to be collected. But unfortunately the collision problem is not considered in this protocol.…”

“…In the literature, broadcasting has been addressed intensively from different aspects [2,6,9,12,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. A TDMA-based broadcast protocol is proposed in [2] to assign mobile hosts to transmission sets according to their IDs, where transmission sets are used to indicate on which time slots to send data.…”

A highly reliable broadcast scheme for IEEE 802.11 multi-hop ad hoc networks

“…In order to route packets to all members in the network, one of the main actions of a mobile node is the dissemination of control messages to all other nodes that share the same physical channel. This procedure is known as intra-team broadcasting and is discussed in [8]. The existence of a reliable and resourceefficient broadcast protocol in a multi-hop ad hoc wireless network is indispensable due to the increased amount of circulating control information.…”
