Abstract:
Blind flooding have been proposed to perform route discovery operations in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks as an early method, but it suffers from a serious problem relied to the broadcast storm problem. Several probabilistic approaches have been proposed to overcome this problem, such as fixed probabilistic, adjusted probabilistic and smart probabilistic schemes. This paper investigates the use of probability with Dynamic Source Routing Protocol (DSR) algorithm to overcome the broadcast storm problem. The paper invistigates issues regarding the implementation and integration of probability in DSR algorithm and how it can be improved. Simulation results show that the new scheme provides good results in performance levels by taking in consideration the status of the network density (sparse versus dense networks).
