a mobility-management mechanism for broadcasting in unknown mobile ad hoc networks
This paper presents distributed broadcast algorithms for Mobile Ad Hoc NETworks (MANETs for short) with unknown time-varying topology. The first one is an improvement of a protocol of Basagni, Bruschi and Chlamtac (1999), solving in an other way the problem of sharing communication channels. The second one introduces a technique inspired by the Magic Packet technology presented by AMD in 1995 and the principle of controlled-mobility to minimize the energy consumption of mobiles. The last one improves this mechanism to save much more energy. We show that each of these algorithms need at most O ( n.log n ) broadcast rounds in a complete layered MANET.
