Chaithannia T. S., Ashly Thomas T. . Different Enhancements for Flooding Scheme in Mobile Ad hoc Networks. International Conference on Advances in Computational Techniques. ICACT2011, 1 (February 2012), 10-13.
Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a self-organizing, infrastructure less, multi hop network. The flooding scheme, used to discover routes in MANET is shown to cause high retransmissions, packet collisions and media congestion that can significantly degrades the network performance. Flooding must be handled efficiently in order to improve the performance of the protocol. The existing techniques for flooding are not so efficient. So to improve the efficiency of flooding the combination of blind flooding and node caching can be used. In that method cache the nodes which are recently involved in data packet forwarding, and use only them to forward route requests. Dropping route request forwarding from the other nodes considerably reduces routing overhead.
