Abstract
Flooding is an expensive operation that is often required in the
operation of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). In this paper, we
present a novel algorithm to reduce the overhead imposed by flooding
operations. The algorithm improves previous results by using a
distributed function to elect the nodes that will provide the highest
additional coverage to previous retransmissions. The algorithm does
not require any signalling or impose special requirements on the
participating devices.
