  1. Efficient Flooding Techniques for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Special Topic forCS587x Department of Computer Science Iowa State University

  2. Outline • Introduction on MANET • Existing flooding techniques • Proposed techniques • Future Works

  3. Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) • Characteristics of MANET • No fixed network infrastructure • Hosts act as routers on demand • Flooding is a communication primitive • Frequently invoked for route discovery

  4. Plain Flooding • Each host needs to forward a broadcast if the broadcast is received at the first time • Advantage : simple and reliable • Drawback : broadcast storm

  5. Probabilistic Broadcasting [Tseng99, Sasson01] • Each host forwards only a certain percentage of the flooding packets it receives • Advantage : reduced network traffic • Drawback : not reliable

  6. 1 4 2 B D A E C 3 Multipoint Relaying [Laouite01, Peng02, etc.] • Each host selects some of its 1-hop neighbors to forward • Require 2-hop topology • Intensive computation

  7. Research Motivation • Problems of the existing schemes • Excessive network traffic • Reduced flooding reachability • Excessive control overhead • Excessive computation cost

  8. Edge Forwarding – Partition • The broadcast coverage of each mobile host is divided into six partitions P2 P3 P1 A P6 P4 P5

  9. Edge Forwarding - Subpartition • The location of a mobile host divides a given partition into six subpartitions P12 P11 P13 B P16 P14 P15 A

  10. Observation • B does not need to forward A’s broadcast if at least one forwarding occurs in each of A’s subpartitions P12 P11 P13 B P16 P14 P15 A

  11. Forwarding Rule • B must forward a broadcast from A if any P1i (i = 1, …, 6) contains no hosts P12 P11 P13 B P16 P14 P15 A

  12. C B A Proof of Reliability • If B does not forward, then at least one host in each P1i (i = 1, …, 6) will forward

  13. P12 P11 P13 B P16 P14 P15 A Advanced Forwarding • Push the forwarding responsibility to the hosts close to the broadcast perimeter  

  14. Edge Forwarding Protocol Receive a new packet P Y N Forward ? Overhearing Totime units Confirming Tctime units Y N Forward ? Forward P Done on P

  15. Why Wait ? • Further deduction of redundant transmission • Make forwarding occur in better order • Overhearing phase (To) • Handle host uncertainty (eg., energy fading, movement, etc.) • Confirming phase (Tc) C B D A

  17. Significant and Impact of Edge Forwarding • Edge Forwarding is the first scalable and reliable 1-hop flooding technique • Low control overhead • Low computation cost • Minimum forwarding delay • Easy implementation

  18. Reading Assignment 1 • Read one of these two papers (search on Google) • Location-Aided Routing (LAR) in mobile ad hoc networks (MOBICOM 2000) • Energy Efficient Indexing on Air (SIGMOD 1994) • Prepare presentation slides (due Feb 18) • what is the problem • what is the state of the art and their limitation • how this is resolved • comments (originality, technical depth, drawback) • Two students will be chosen to present the paper in the class (TBD)
