Abstract
Broadcasting is a common operation in a network to resolve many issues. In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) in par-ticular, due to host mobility, such operations are expected to be executed more frequently (such as finding a route to a particular host, paging a particular host, and sending an alarm signal). Because radio signals are likely to overlap with others in a geographical area, a straightforward broad-casting by flooding is usually very costly and will result in serious redundancy, contention, and collision, to which we refer as the broadcast storm problem. In this paper, we iden-tify this problem by showing how serious it is through anal-yses and simulations. We propose several schemes to reduce redundant rebroadcasts and differentiate timing of rebroad-casts to alleviate this problem. Simulation results are pre-sented, which show different levels of improvement over the basic flooding approach.
