Abstract

We aspire to define a reliable and scalable multicast protocol for ad hoc networks. Our target is to utilize epidemic techniques in the design of this protocol. As the first step, we developed an information dissemination method called SFG and presented its initial performance results compared to flooding in this poster paper. The most important contribution of this work is offering a method which requires the nodes neither to be aware of network topology nor to have neighborhood knowledge to disseminate information.
