Double-Covered Broadcast (DCB): A Simple Reliable Broadcast Algorithm in MANETs Wei Lou and Jie Wu Department of Computer Science and Engineering Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL 33431 Email:{wlou, jie}@cse.fau.edu Abstract— Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) suffer from high transmission error rate because of the nature of radio communications. The broadcast operation, as a fundamental service in MANETs, is prone to the broadcast storm problem if forward nodes are not carefully designated. The objective of reducing the broadcast redundancy while still providing high delivery ratio for
