Load and Battery Charge oriented Flooding for Broadcast Streaming over Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract

This paper considers cases where a specific number of nodes in an ad hoc network broadcast video and audio streams over the entire network, and proposes Load and Battery Charge oriented Flooding (LBF), which reduces degradation in delivery quality, and energy consumption, and prevents nodes from being interrupted due to the complete discharge of their batteries. It also describes an evaluation of the proposed method through network simulation, and confirms its effectiveness.
