An Efficient Scheme to Discover Neighbors Beyond Omnidirectional Transmission Range

In this paper, we present a comparative performance evaluation of our proposed neighbor discovery scheme versus other basic neighbor discovery schemes based on omnidirectional broadcast. The scheme is able to discover nodes beyond the omnidirectional transmission range with the help of minimal number of neighbors. It does not require high-power broadcast and works in a distributed manner. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme is able to discover neighbors faster than other basic neighbor discovery schemes.
