%X <p>Searching for resources over unstructured networks is usually supported by broadcast communication primitives. Ideally, the broadcast process should be cancelled as soon as possible after a successful discovery, to avoid ooding the entire network. However, cancelling an ongoing broadcast is challenging and may increase the number of exchanged messages.<br /> In this paper, we compare the cancellation mechanisms used by BERS and BERS? With new proposed cancellation approaches BCIR and BCIR? The formulation of a simplied analytical model and the simulation results show that:i)it is possible to reduce the number of retransmitted messages, without increasing the latency observed in BERS?; and ii) BCIR is more energy ecient, which can contribute to extend the availability of mobile battery powered devices.</p>
