Among many ways to achieve security in wireless mobile ad hoc networks, the approach taken in this paper is to ensure that all nodes in the network receive critical information on security such as public keys. To achieve this, a reliable global broadcasting of the information must be accomplished, which in turn, relies on a reliable 1-hop broadcasting in which a message from the source node is guaranteed to be delivered to all nodes within the source node’s transmission range. This paper presents a MAC protocol that guarantees a reliable and efficient 1-hop broadcast. The unique feature of the proposed algorithm is that each node is able to dynamically adjust its transmission range depending on the node density around it. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
