Comparative Analysis of Broadcasting Techniques for Routing Protocols

The adhoc network comprises of nodes with a wireless radio interface is multihop network environment in which messages are transmitted from one to another node via intermediate nodes within the range. To find an effective and an efficient routing protocol, which is used to transmit information from source to destination across whole network topology, is a major issue in networking research. The broadcasting is used to diffuse information among all the neighbors and thus route establishment. This approach makes it challenging to control redundant rebroadcasts, channel contention problem, bandwidth congestion and packet collision problem. The optimization of communication with mobile routers in dynamic nature of topology is another challenge. This paper presents classification of routing protocols with different broadcasting schemes. These schemes are summarized and presented in a table.
