Abstract

Due to various reasons, the cluster based architecture has been rarely used for efficient broadcasting. In this paper, we propose to develop an Energy Efficient Broadcasting protocol using cluster based approach for the MANETs. Our protocol uses a target radius and a locally defined connected graph, to preserve the connectivity. In our algorithm, the broadcasting nodes select a subset of their neighbors using an efficient clustering technique, to forward the message using an efficient forward node selection mechanism. By simulation results, we show that our proposed protocol attains good delivery ratio with reduced delay, energy and overhead.
