Abstract

This paper investigates using extensive simulations the effects of a number of important system parameters in a typical MANETs, including node speed, pause time, traffic load, and node density on the performance of probabilistic flooding. The results reveal that most of these parameters have a critical impact on the reachability and the number of saved rebroadcast messages achieved by probabilistic flooding, prompting the need for dynamically adjusting nodal retransmission probabilities depending on the current state of the network.
