FUZZY LOGIC TECHNIQUE FOR GOSSIP BASED RELIABLE BROADCASTING IN MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS
G. Kalpana, Sri Ramakrishna · 2013
Gossiping is the well-organized approach for inform ation dissemination in Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET). In Gossiping approach, the node forwards packets with the probability known as retransmission probability. This probability must be chosen approp riately and effectively which is a challenging task . In this paper, we propose a fuzzy logic technique for gossip based reliable broadcasting in Mobile Ad hoc Networks. In this technique, each node computes the node velocity, residual energy and node degree. Th ese inputs are passed through the fuzzy system and the fuzzified inputs are fed to the rule base system. R ules are constructed based on the intuitive that the rebroadcast probability at the nodes in sparser areas should be set high and that of at the nodes in denser areas a s low. The outcome of fuzzy system defines the valu e for retransmission probability. Through simulations, we prove the proficiency of our technique which reduc es the packet loss ratio and improves the network perf ormance.
