Abstract :
This paper proposes a new automatic repeat request (ARQ) scheme for reliable broadcasting in distributed wireless LANs. Unlike traditional ARQ schemes for reliable broadcasting, the proposed scheme is highly efficient in its ARQ control information delivery and only introduces light control overhead in the network. Our simulation results show that as compared with traditional ARQ schemes, the proposed scheme improves the LAN throughput by from several tens to more than one hundred percent, depending on the number of nodes in the LAN.
