Abstract

Broadcasting in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is an information dissemination process of sending a message from a source node to all other nodes of the network. Even though it has been studied extensively for wired networks, broadcasting in MANETs poses more challenging problems because of the variable and unpredictable characteristics of its medium as well as the fluctuation of the signal strength and propagation with respect to time and environment. Furthermore, node mobility creates a continuously changing communication topology in which routing paths break and new ones form dynamically. In this context, efficient broadcasting in Mobile Ad hoc networks is crucial for providing control and routing information for multicast and point to point communication protocols. This paper presents an overview on the state of the art of broadcasting methods in MANETs and makes recommendations on how to improve the efficiency and performance of tree and cluster based broadcasting methods.
