A broadcast method in a wireless network and a communication apparatus
using the same. The broadcast method determines whether the broadcast
packet is first received upon receiving a broadcast packet. If a
determination reveals that the packet is first received, the broadcast
packet is stored and rebroadcast to neighbor nodes. Subsequently, a node,
among the neighbor nodes, from which the broadcast packet is received, is
marked as `relayed`. The broadcast packet is rebroadcast when all of the
neighbor nodes from which the broadcast packet is received are not marked
as `relayed`. When all of the neighbor nodes from which the broadcast
packet is received are marked as `relayed`, the broadcast packet is
destroyed. Accordingly, an efficient link-based broadcast method is
provided.
