For designing broadcast protocols in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), one of the important goals is to reduce the rebroadcast packets redundancy while reaching all the nodes in network. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic broadcasting mechanism based on selfishness and additional coverage in MANETs. Our approach dynamically adjusts the rebroadcast probability according to the extra covered area and number of neighbor nodes. By these two factors, mobile hosts can be classified into three groups: normal, low selfishness, and high selfishness groups. The nodes in the normal group forward packets for other nodes with high probability, whereas the nodes in the low selfishness group rebroadcast packets with low probability and the nodes in the high selfishness group do not rebroadcast packets. We compared our approach with simple flooding and the fixed probabilistic approach. The simulation results show that the proposed schemes can significantly reduce the number of retransmissions by up to 40% compared simple flooding and fixed probabilistic scheme without significant reduction in the network reachability and end-to-end packet delay.

Broadcasting is fundamental and effective data dissemination mechanism for route discovery, address resolution, and many other network services in mobile ad hoc networks. Although many approaches for broadcasting have been proposed to minimize the number of retransmissions, none of them guarantee the best-suited bounds of retransmissions. Appropriate use of probabilistic method can lower the chance of contention and collision among neighboring nodes, so that it reduces the number of rebroadcasts. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic approach that dynamically adjusts the rebroadcasting probability according to the distance between the sender and the receiver. While the rebroadcast probabilities of a mobile node close to sender will be set lower, the rebroadcast probabilities of a mobile node far away from sender wi1l be set to higher, The rebroadcast probability of a node wi1l be set according to the distance from sender. We evaluate the performance of proposed approach by comparing it with flooding as well as a fixed probabilistic broadcast approach. Simulation results showed that the performance of proposed scheme outperforms by about $70\%$ than flooding scheme and outperforms by about $20\%$ than fixed probabilistic scheme.

As broadcasting in Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is the process that a node sends a packet to all other nodes in the network. it is used for routing protocols such as Ad hoc On demand Distance Vector (AODV) to disseminate control information for establishing the routes. In this paper, we propose Probabilistic Broadcasting mechanism based on Distance Ratio between sender and receive node in MANETs. The proposed approach is based on the combination of probability and distance based approach. A mobile node receiving broadcast packets determines the probability of rebroadcasting considering distance ratio from sender. The distance ratio of a node is calculated by the distance from sender and the length of radio field strength. As a node with high distance ratio is located far away from sender, rebroadcast probability is set to high value. On contrary, the low rebroadcast probability is set for a node with low distance ratio which is close to sender. So it reduces packets transmission caused by the early die-out of rebroadcast packets. Compared with the simple flooding and fixed probabilistic flooding by simulation, our approach shows better performances results. Proposed algorithm can reduce the rebroadcast packet delivery more than 30% without scanting reachability, where as it shows up to 96% reachability compared with flooding.

As broadcasting is the process that a node sends a packet to all nodes in the network. it is basic process used for discovering of a routes to a node and disseminating of control information message in Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET). In this paper, we propose dynamically adjusted probabilistic mechanism based on distance ratio and node density for broadcasting in MANETs. The distance ratio can be calculated as the ratio of the radio strength length to the distance from sender of a node, and node density can be get from 1-hop nodes of neighbours. A mobile node receiving broadcast packets determines the probability of rebroadcasting considering distance ratio and node density of itself. Rebroadcast probability will be set as low value to a node which is located in nearby area of sender and has high 1-hop node density, So it reduces packets transmission caused by the early die-out of rebroadcast packets. Compared with the simple flooding and fixed probabilistic flooding by simulation, our approach shows better performances results. Proposed algorithm can reduce the rebroadcast packet delivery more than 30% without scanting reachability, where as it shows up to 96% reachability compared with flooding.

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks(MANETs) consists of mobile nodes which communicate with each other without any centralized infrastructure. Message broadcasting by flooding for route discovery in MANET can result in high redundant retransmission, contention and collision of broadcasting packet, known as the broadcast storm problem collectively. The cross-layer design is adopted in this paper, which lets routing layer share the received signal strength information at MAC layer. Also this paper proposes a new probabilistic approach that dynamically adjusts the rebroadcasting probability of a node for routing request packets (RREQs) according to the received signal strength. The simulation results show that the proposed approach demonstrates better performance than blind flooding, fixed probabilistic broadcasting approaches.

The route request (RREQ) packet is selectively re-broadcasted in the routing protocols that improve the broadcast storm problem of the ad-hoc on-demand routing protocol (AODV). However, in a low node density scenario, the connectivity of these selective rebroadcast schemes becomes less than that of the AODV. In order to clarify the requirements of these selective re-broadcast routing protocols, it is necessary to investigate the relationship between the node density and the connectivity. In this paper, we drive a probability to preserve the connectivity of the GAODV at an intermediate rebroadcast node. In addition, we present an intuitive method to approximate the end-to-end connectivity of the GAODV. We draw the required node density to guarantee the connectivity of 0.9 and 0.99 through computer simulations, and verify the validity of the derived theoritical connectivity by comparing with the simulation results.

A broadcast operation is the fundamental transmission technique in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). Because a broadcast operation can cause a broadcast storm, only selected forwarding nodes have the right to rebroadcast a broadcast message among the one-hop and two-hop neighboring nodes of a sender. This paper proposes the maximum intersection self-pruning (MISP) algorithm to minimize broadcasting redundancy. Herein, an example is given to help describe the main concept of MISP and upper bounds of forward node have been derived based on induction. A simulation conducted demonstrated that when conventional blind flooding (BF), self-pruning (SP), an optimized link state routing (OLSR) multipoint relay (MPR) set, and dominant pruning (DP), are replaced with the MISP in executing Strong duplicate address detection (DAD), the performances in terms of the energy consumption, upper bounds of the number of forward nodes, and message complexity have been improved. In addition, to evaluate the performance in reference to the link error probability, P_e, an enhancement was achieved by computing a proposed retransmission limit, S, for error recovery based on this probability. Retransmission limit control is critical for efficient energy consumption of MANET nodes operating with limited portable energy where Strong DAD reacts differently to link errors based on the operational procedures.

In ad hoc networks, many applications use the broadcast service that is elementary operation to support various important functions such as route discovery procedure. This paper presents several adaptive probabilistic broadcast schemes base on local information to alleviate the broadcast storm problem for wireless ad hoc network. Our schemes dynamically determine the rebroadcast probability at each node based on the neighbor information within two-hop span. Simulation results are presented, which show our schemes have a better performance over the deterministic flooding approach.

In cognitive radio ad-hoc networks, common control channel overload and packet collisions are occured due to indiscriminate broadcasting of control packets. So that the path reliability is reduced and control channel is easily saturated. In this paper, we propose a new routing algorithm considering the probability of appearance of primary user and channel status of neighbor nodes. When the source node needs to transmit a data packet to the destination, it performs route discovery process by exchanging control messages using a control channel in ADOV CR Ad-hoc networks. If any intermediate node doesn't have common data channel with previous node to transmit data, it doesn't rebroadcast control packet. And if it has common data channels with previous node, each node determines channel contribution factor with the number of common channels. Based on the channel contribution factor, each node performs different back-off broadcasting. In addition, each node controls control packet flooding by applying to proposed advanced mode using such as number of available channels and channel stability. With the proposed method, the number of control packets to find the data transmission path and the probability of collision among control packets can be decreased. While the path reliability can be increased. Through simulation, we show that our proposed algorithm reduces packet collisions in comparison with the traditional algorithm.
