Stable and Reliable Broadcast Scheduling in Multi-Hop MANET

This paper presents a broadcasting protocol called Stable Reliable Broadcast Scheduling (SRBS) designed for multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks. Due to multi-hop limited bandwidth and the dynamic changes of the network topology, the network performance is highly hindered. The SRBS enables bandwidth-efficient broadcasting in wide area network. The protocol was validated through simulation which proved its efficiency, throughput, reliability, rebroadcast, reachibility and cost-effectiveness. Comparison of the proposed SRBS through simulation with other well known protocols shows that the proposed protocol outperforms these and even the bandwidth of channels is properly utilized.
