摘要

to improve the efficiency and flexibleness of reliable broadcast/multicast MAC protocol in wireless multi-hop network, a novel adaptive reliable broadcast/multicast MAC protocol (ARBMAC) is brought forward. The core idea of it is based on the broadcast/multicast cost function, which is proposed by analyzing different realizations of reliable broadcast/multicast. According to the function, the most efficient realization in different scenes can be found. Thus, the protocol could select adaptively the optimal realization for every broadcast/multicast packet in various scenarios. Extensive analysis and simulation results validate the reliability and efficiency of ARBMAC.
