Abstract
Processing broadcast data in a mobile Ad-hoc network includes: determining if all of the broadcast packets have been received using a Latest Broadcast Count Number (NBC) stored in a neighbor table within a buffer of a pertinent node and Broadcast Count Number (BC) contained in the broadcast packets received from a transmitting node upon receipt of broadcast packets transmitted from the transmitting node. The Broadcast Count Number (BC) of the received broadcast packet is compared with a buffer size of the pertinent node if all of the broadcast packets transmitted from the transmitting node have been received. A hello packet for flushing a buffer of the transmitting node is generated and transmitted to the transmitting node, the buffer of the pertinent node is flushed, and the neighbor table of the flushed buffer is updated, if the Broadcast Count Number (BC) of the received broadcast packet exceeds the buffer size.
