Abstract

Broadcasting is a widely used technique to distribute control packets to all the nodes in an ad hoc network. The traditional flooding scheme has been proven to unnecessarily consume network capacity and may lead to severe packet collisions in high-density networks. Numerous schemes have been proposed to alleviate this so called broadcast storm problem and their efficiencies are usually analyzed and compared by ns-2 simulations. Not much work has been done on mathematical modeling and rigorous analysis. In this paper, we focus on three popular ad-hoc broadcasting schemes and provide their detailed analysis in two-dimensional networks. The obtained statistical results reveal the new relationships between network parameters and the performance metrics. These results are useful for optimally setting network parameters in designing protocols. It is also expected that the developed analytical methods will lay a solid foundation for the development of mathematical models for other ad-hoc broadcasting schemes.
