Abstract
In this paper we introduce a novel cooperative forwarding mechanism for IEEE 802.11-based MANETs. The mechanism has been adapted to operate together with two well known routing protocols: AODV and LUNAR. We evaluate our proposal by means of a prototype, using pedestrian mobility inside a building. Results show that, in dense MANETs, our cooperative forwarding mechanism is a promising technique to achieve robustness, and with a low cost of overhead.
