Broadcasting methods in mobile ad hoc networks: Taxonomy and current state of the art

Flooding also known as broadcasting is one of the most primitive methodologies that focus on investigating searches concerning mobile ad hoc networking due to poorer network procedures which is a main feature in the concept of broadcasting which provides implications to superior applications that includes routing. Broadcasting means in conventional ways transmitting messages from a given branch to all other branches present in a network. The whole grid of the network is manned to ensure that the transmitted data is uniformly ported to the remaining nodes in a decentralized type of network setup. The two issues that renders nodes out of reach all the time are limited radio range and their immovability which assists in concluding that te issue of data transmission covering all networks is assumed to be a multi-objective issue that aims at increasing the count of number of nodules and also decreasing the time taken to reach the specified nodules and also reducing the network overhead which is a crucial characteristic because of the fact that this may direct to congestion also known as broadcast storm issue. This article aims at giving an insight of the taxonomy of transmitting methodologies in MANETS and current state of the art

A Multirate MAC Protocol for Reliable Multicast in Multihop Wireless Networks

Many multicast applications, such as audio/video streaming, file sharing or emergency reporting, are becoming quite common in wireless mobile environment, through the widespread deployment of 802.11-based wirelessnetworks. However, despite the growing interest in the above applications, the current IEEE 802.11 standard does not offer any medium access control (MAC) layer support to the efficient and reliable provision of multicast services. It does not provide any MAC-layer recovery mechanism for unsuccessful multicast transmissions. Consequently, lost frames cannot be detected, hence retransmitted, causing a significant quality of service degradation. In addition, 802.11 multicast traffic is sent at the basic data rate, often resulting in severe throughput reduction. In this work, we address these issues by presenting areliablemulticastMACprotocol for wirelessmultihopnetworks, which is coupled with a lightweight rate adaptation scheme. Simulation results show that our schemes provide high packet delivery ratio and when compared with other state-of-the-art solutions, they also provide reduced control overhead and data delivery dela
