Broadcast is the process of sending a message from one node to all other nodes in an ad
hoc network. It is a fundamental operation for communication in ad hoc networks as it allows …

The blind flooding can become very inefficient because of redundant," superfluous"
forwarding. In fact, superfluous flooding increases link overhead and wireless medium …

This paper introduces a game theoretic method, called forwarding dilemma game (FDG),
which controls routing overhead in dense multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks. The players …

In this paper, we propose a new flooding mechanism based on passive, on-demand
clustering. This mechanism reduces flooding overhead without loss of network performance …

Unlike current clustering methods, the presented vote-based clustering (VC) algorithm uses
not only node location and ID information, but also battery time information. In VC, each …

Organization, scalability and routing have been identified as key problems hindering viability
and commercial success of mobile ad hoc networks. Clustering of mobile nodes among …

This paper proposes Forwarding Game Routing Protocol (FGRP), which can be applied to
any routing protocol in mobile ad hoc network (MANET) such as Ad Hoc On Demand …

Clustering techniques have been proposed to construct hierarchies of nodes inside Mobile
Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) thereby increasing their scalability and manageability and …

AODV (Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector)[8] is appealing because of the lower routing
overhead, compared with traditional proactive schemes. AODV introduces routing overhead …
