Most researchers use ns2 to analyze the performance of routing protocols for ad hoc network. But the simulation executing time increases quickly as the mobile networks size, and augmenting. In order to reduce simulation running time for mobile networks, this paper proposes an alternative procedure, selective propagation, to send packet in wireless media layer of ns2. The idea is to calculate a list of receivers in the coverage range before sending a packet. The comparison shows this mechanism can gain up to 50 % of time for executing simulations.
