ANALYSIS OF MULTI-HOP RELAY ALGORITHM FOR EFFICIENT BROADCASTING IN MANETS

Dipali K. Dakhole, Archana R. Raut

Abstract: Broadcasting means communicating information from one to all or many to all nodes in a network. It is widely used in many MANET routing protocols. Flexible and distributed MANETs are robust and rapidly deployable/reconfigurable, so they are highly appealing for a lot critical applications, like deep space communication, disaster relief, battlefield communication, outdoor mining, etc. To improve such limitation for a more efficient utilization of limited wireless bandwidth, this paper proposes a more general probing based multi-hop relay algorithm with limited energy consumption. A general theoretical framework is further developed to help us to understand that under different network size, how we can benefit from multiple observations in terms of per node PDR, the expected end to end delay and limited energy consumption.

Keywords: MANETs, Broadcasting, Multi-hop relay, end-to-end delay, PDR, etc.
