멀티홉 네트워크에서 플러딩(Flooding) 기법은 토폴로지 내의 모든 노드에게 패킷을 전달하는 것이다. 대표적인 플러딩 기법인 Blind 플러딩은 패킷을 받은 모든 노드가 플러딩을 하기 때문에, 무선 네트워크의 전체적인 성능이 감소한다. 기존 연구에서는 성능 향상을 위해 중복 수신되는 패킷을 줄이는 데에만 초점이 맞춰져 있다. 하지만 실제 무선 네트워크 환경에서는 간섭에 따른 패킷 손실이 발생하고, 플러딩은 Broadcast 로 전송하기 때문에 재전송하여 손실 패킷을 복구할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 Blind, Self-Pruning, Dominant-pruning 플러딩 기법에 재전송이 필요 없는 오류정정 기법(FEC)를 적용하여, 추가적인 잉여 데이터에 따른 전체 전송 패킷의 수와 플러딩 기법의 신뢰성을 분석 하였다.

Broadcasting in multi-hop wireless sensor networks is a basic operation that supports many applications such as route search, setting up addresses and sending messages from the sink to sensor nodes. The broadcasting using flooding causes problems that can be mentioned as a broadcasting storm such as redundancy, contention and collision. A variety of broadcasting schemes using wireless sensor networks have been proposed to achieve superior performance rather than simple flooding scheme. Broadcasting algorithms in wireless sensor networks can be classified into six subcategories: flooding scheme, probabilistic scheme, counter-based scheme, distance-based scheme, location-based schemes, and neighbor knowledge-based scheme. This study analyzes a simple flooding scheme, probabilistic scheme, counter-based scheme, distance-based scheme, and neighbor knowledge-based scheme, and compares the performance and efficiency of each scheme through network simulation.

In the wireless sensor network, flooding is required for the dissemination of queries and event announcements. The simple flooding causes the implosion and the overlap problems, so the simple flooding may result in the reduced network lifetime. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the flooding overlay structure (FOS) so that the overhead caused by flooding can be reduced. We propose two variants of FOS mechanisms, the centralized FOS (CFOS) and the distributed FOS (DFOS). In CFOS, the sink collects the network topology information and selects forwarding nodes based on that information. On the other hand, DFOS allows each sensor node to decide whether to act as a forwarding node or not based on its local information. For the performance evaluation of our proposed mechanisms, we carry out NS-2 based simulations and compare ours with the simple flooding and the gossiping. The simulation results indicate that the proposed FOS mechanisms outperform the simple flooding in terms of the network lifetime and the gossiping in terms of the data delivery ratio.

Flooding is usually utilized to find a multi hop route toward the destination which is not within transmission range in Ad Hoc networks. However, existing flooding schemes deteriorate the network performance because of periodic message exchanges, frequent occurrence of collisions, and redundant packet transmission. To resolve this, a flooding scheme using on demand cluster formation is proposed in this paper. The scheme employs ongoing Packets for constructing a cluster architecture as the existing on demand clustering scheme. Unlike to the existing on demand clustering scheme, the scheme makes use of unicast packet transmission to reduce the number of collisions and to find the flooding candidates easily. As a result, the proposed scheme yields fewer flooding nodes than other schemes. Simulation results proved that the proposed scheme reduces the number of transmissions and collisions than those of two other schemes.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 하나의 싱크가 아닌 여러 개의 싱크(multi-싱크)인 경우에는 데이터의 전송에 있어 특정 라우팅 기법을 이용하는 것 보다 플러딩방식이 매우 적합한 전송기법으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 유선 환경 등의 기타 네트워크에서 사용되던 플러딩 방식을 무선 센서 네트워크에 그대로 사용하는 것은 적절하지 않다. 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 에너지의 효율성이 무엇보다 중요하며 기존의 플러딩방식은 불필요한 패킷의 중복전송 등 해결해야 할 문제점들이 많이 남아있기 때문이다. 우리는 이웃 노드들의 노드 리스트를 적절히 관리하여 불필요한 패킷의 재전송을 막아주며, 노드 리스트를 관리하는 오버헤드를 최소화 하여 에너지 효율성을 높인 무선 센서 네트워크의 특성에 맞는 플러딩방식인 HEEF기법을 제안한다.

In a multi-hop wireless sensor network, broadcasting is an elementary operation to support command message sending, route discovery and other application tasks. Broadcasting by flooding may cause serious redundancy, contention, and collision in the network, which is referred to as the broadcast storm problem. Many broadcasting schemes have been proposed to give better performance than simple flooding in wireless sensor network. How to decide whether re-broadcast or not also poses a dilemma between reach ability and efficiency under different host densities. In this paper, we present popular broadcasting schemes, which can reduce re-broadcast packets and improve SRB(Saved ReBroadcast). Simulation results show different levels of improvement over the simple flooding scheme.

무선 멀티 홉 네트워크는 기지국 없이 중간의 무선 단말기를 경유해서 메세지를 전송하므로 무선 단말기의 전력 상태나 이동에 따라 그 토폴로지가 자주 변한다. 따라서 목적지까지 경로를 탐색하고 유지하기 위해 효율적인 경로 탐색 기법에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 그러나 경로 탐색 과정은 경로 탐색 메세지를 네트워크 전체로 전파하는 플러딩으로 인해 네트워크의 처리율을 크게 감소시킨다. 플러딩으로 발생하는 트래픽을 억제하기 위해 제안된 선별적인 플러딩 기법 중 이웃 노드 정보에 기반 한 접근 방식은 비교적 정확하게 재전송에 필요한 노드를 선별할 수 있으나 HELLO 패킷을 주기적으로 발생시켜야 한다. 본 논문은 이웃 노드의 맥(MAC) 계층에서 발생하는 제어 메세지를 청취해서 이웃 노드의 트래픽 정보를 수집하고 이것을 이용해서 재전송에 필요한 노드를 선별하는 기법을 제안 한다.

Rapid transmission of packets is important in mobile ad hoc networks. Therefore, a flooding algorithm which can guarantee a short delay is useful in various ways of packet transmission. Flooding algorithm is one of the packet transmission methods that broadcasts a packet to all nodes within a transmission range. It does not rebroadcast the same packet which is already received from other nodes. Basically, flooding algorithm's advantages are that it simply writes an address and a sequence number in a packet, and it can be adapted for topological changes easily. However, the basic flooding algorithm has a shortcoming that causes excessive traffic because all nodes transmit a packet at least once. To solve this problem, research about flooding algorithms that constrains duplicated transmission of packets based on probabilistic and geographical information is going on. However, the existing algorithm cannot guarantee short delay and low traffic. To reduce a delay, in this paper we propose a flooding scheme where a node which receives a broadcasted packet chooses and allocates a priority to one of its neighbor nodes and then the node transmits the packet promptly to the node to whom the priority was given. Moreover, we propose a totally fresh a roach to constrain duplicated transmission by searching a node that already received the same packet by using node's geographical position information. Lastly, we compare the performance of the proposed algorithm with the existing algorithm through simulation. The results show that the proposed algorithm can distribute packets through a lower number of total packet transmissions and faster delivery time than the existing algorithm.

Although flooding has the disadvantages like a transmission of duplicated packets and a packet collision, it has been used frequently to find a path between a source and a sink node in a wireless ad hoc network. Clustering is one of the techniques that have been proposed to overcome those disadvantages. In this paper, we propose a new flooding mechanism in ad hoc networks using cluster formation based on the link density which means the number of neighbors within a node's radio reach. To reduce traffic overhead in the cluster is to make the number of non-flooding nodes as large as possible. Therefore, a node with the most links in a cluster will be elected as cluster header. This method will reduce the network traffic overhead with a reliable network performance. Simulation results using NS2 show that cluster formation based on the link density can reduce redundant flooding without loss of network performance.

The flooding is the simplest and effective way to disseminate a packet to all nodes in a wireless sensor network (WSN). However, basic flooding makes all nodes transmit the packet at least once, resulting in the broadcast storm problem in a serious case, in turn network resources become severely wasted. Particularly, power is one of the most valuable resources of WSNs as nodes are powered by battery, then the waste of energy by the basic flooding lessens the lifetime of WSNs. In order to solve the broadcast storm problem, this paper proposes a dynamic probabilistic flooding that utilizes the neighbor information like the number of child and sibling nodes. Simulation results show that the proposed method achieves a higher packet delivery ratio with the similar number of duplicate packets as compared to existing schemes.
