Hi,

Does anybody know any literature about selective acknowledgement applied to manet (802.11). Concretely, selective acknowledge in response to a broadcast transmission.

The IEEE 802.11 MAC specification does not allow acknowledging on receiving a broadcast transmission. Therefore how could I design a mechanism which ensures me that at least one neighboring node has received the broadcast message (imagine a critical application, e.g. car accident warning, in which you cannot permit a broadcast message "to be lost on the air")

Best regards,
Joan
