A Novel Probabilistic Based Broadcasting Scheme for MANETs

Authors- Assistant Professor Dr. Gurpreet Singh

Abstract-– In Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs), efficient broadcasting is critical due to the dynamic topology and limited bandwidth. Traditional flooding techniques often result in high redundancy, contention, and collision, collectively known as the broadcast storm problem. This paper proposes a novel probabilistic broadcasting scheme that dynamically adjusts the forwarding probability based on local node density and residual energy. The proposed scheme reduces unnecessary retransmissions while maintaining a high reachability rate. Simulation results demonstrate that our method outperforms existing approaches in terms of packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, and network overhead, making it a viable solution for scalable and energy-efficient communication in MANETs.
