Abstract

Analyzing the performance of broadcast in mobile ad hoc networks is necessary because of the importance of broadcast in multiuser communications and the characteristic difference between wireless communications and wired communications. If the time lag between collided packets is small on the order of a symbol, the reception is synchronized; otherwise, the reception is non-synchronized. We find that there is a time complexity gap exponential with the degree of the network between the performance of synchronized and non-synchronized reception. Besides, we also take into account the possibility that a processor is busy with other tasks, and we find that allowing the processors to be temporarily busy with other tasks will not degrade the performance significantly.
