An improved probabilistic protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Shibao Li, Linlin Lou, Li Wei Hong · 2013
This paper proposes an improved AODV protocol with probabilistic forwarding by means of encounter records (ERPP-AODV) in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). With the help of encounter records, the broadcast is mainly restricted in the direction to destination node predicted by searching the node more recently encountered it. The forwarding probability is set dynamically based on the density of the nodes encountered destination. The simulation results show that our proposed protocol reduce the routing overhead and demonstrates good performance in other aspects.
