A Broadcast Streaming Method over Ad Hoc Networks Enabling High Packet Reachability and Long Battery Lifetime

This paper considers cases where a specific number of nodes in an ad hoc network broadcast video and audio streams over the entire network. For the purpose, we have proposed 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. This paper describes an evaluation of the proposed method through network simulation. The simulation results indicate that the proposed method can prolong network running time without degradation of delivery quality.
