Power Control Based Broadcast Packet Retransmission Collision Reduction Method in a Wireless Self-Organization Network

In a wireless Self-organization networks, broadcast packet transmission based flooding method is usually used in the procedures of random access, neighbor discovery, routing and etc. However, the conventional IEEE 802.11 MAC broadcast packet transmission method will cause high packet collision ratio in dense user population scenario. Therefore, a power control based broadcast packet retransmission scheme is proposed in this paper. Through Monte Carlo simulation, the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional one in different user population scenario.
