dc.description.abstractThis work investigates the benefits and drawbacks of repeating controlled flooding at different intervals in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) to overcome episodic connectivity. Specifically, the thesis examines the efficiencies in repeating transmissions by quantifying the packet delivery ratio (PDR) and recording the resulting delays in different types of MANET scenarios. These scenarios mainly focus on partitions within the simulated networks by varying node density and mobility. The nodes store transmitted data and haul it across the MANET in the hope that it will come in range of a node that leads to the destination. A customized version of the Network Simulator 2 (ns-2) is used to create the simulations. A qualitative analysis follows and shows the cost and benefits of increased transmissions at varied time intervals.
