Abstract:Abstract-We consider the lifetime optimization problem for multicasting in wireless ad hoc networks, in which each node is equipped with a directional antenna and has limited energy supplies. Several distributed algorithms proposed recently are especially beneficial to a resource-constrained wireless ad hoc network. In this paper, we propose a new distributed algorithm and investigate its theoretical performance compared to existing distributed algorithms. We use a graph theoretic approach to obtain the upper … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
