Abstract

A new deterministic broadcast protocol for an ad hoc network is proposed in this paper which avoids re-computation of the transmission schedule, even when the topology of the network changes due to the mobility of the nodes. The basic idea is to use a successive partitioning scheme by representing the identifier of each node (an integer) in an arbitrarily chosen radix system; the protocol then computes the specific time slots in which a particular node should transmit its message. The proposed protocol is simple, easy to implement and needs lesser broadcast time than that in [BBC99].
