Applying Network Coding To Neighbour Topology Based Broadcasting Techniques in MANETs

Abstract: In Mobile Ad-Hoc networks, broadcasting is a fundamental operation in the network layer. A node transmits a rebroadcast message to any or all other nodes whenever it receives for the first time. It will generate several redundant transmissions and it ends up in a significant downside Broadcast Storm problem. Within the literature, researchers have proposed 2-Hop Neighbour based protocol like DP, TDP, PDP and APDP to reduce broadcast storm in MANETs by choosing the minimum number of forwarding nodes from 1-Hop nodes to cover all 2-Hop nodes.
