Reliable and Efficient Broadcasting in Asymmetric Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using Minimized Forward Node List Algorithm

Abstract

Problem statement: Network wide broadcasting is a fundamental operation in ad hoc networks. In broadcasting, a source node sends a message to all the other nodes in the network. Unlike in a wired network, a packet transmitted by a node in ad hoc wireless network can reach all neighbors. Therefore, the total number of transmissions (Forwarding nodes) used as the cost criterion for broadcasting. Approach: This study proposes a reliable and efficient broadcasting algorithm using minimized forward node list algorithm which uses 2-hop neighborhood information more effectively to reduce redundant transmissions in asymmetric Mobile Ad hoc networks that guarantees full delivery. Among the 1-hop neighbors of the sender, only selected forwarding nodes retransmit the broadcast message. Forwarding nodes are selected such a way that to cover the uncovered 2-hop neighbors. Results: Simulation results show that the proposed broadcasting algorithm provides high delivery ratio, low broadcast forward ratio, low overhead and minimized delay. Conclusion: In this study, reliable and efficient broadcasting algorithm in asymmetric Mobile Ad Hoc Networks using minimized forward node list algorithm has been proposed which provides low forward ratio, high delivery ratio while suppressing broadcast redundancy.

Adaptive Broadcast Routing Protocol using Fuzzy Logic System for MANET

“…Marimuthu Murugesan et al [3], using curtailed onward node list procedure, have proposed a dependable and effictive dissemination procedure that utilizes 2-hop vicinity data more efficiently in order to lessen unnecessary [9] have proposed a LAPB procedure which profits benefit of altering the possibility of node based on the thickness. It also selects certain effective transitional nodes to determine path.…”

“…The mobile nature of nodes, limited bandwidth, high error rates, limited battery power and continuously changing topology brings out new complexities while designing the routing protocols for this kind of network [2]. The resource constraint devices and dynamic topology are the unique characteristics in MANET that becomes major problem towards the efficient routing protocol design [3]. In MANET, network wide broadcasting is an elementary manoeuvre in which a source disseminates topology information throughout the network [3].…”

The simple model of broadcasting is blind flooding where each node forwards the packet exactly once.…”
