Minimum-Energy Broadcast and disk cover in grid wireless networks

Abstract: The Minimum Energy Broadcast problem consists in finding the minimum-energy range assignment for a given set S of n stations of an ad hoc wireless network that allows a source station to perform broadcast operations over S.\ud We prove a nearly tight asymptotical bound on the optimal cost for the Minimum Energy Broadcast problem on square grids. We emphasize that finding tight bounds for this problem restriction is far to be easy: it involves the Gauss’s Circle problem and the Apollonian Circle Packing. We als… Show more

“…We remind that, while the energy cost of cell-alg is an upper bound on the work complexity of our distributed procedure Broadcast, the energy cost of the MST-based solution does not provide any information about the work complexity of its distributed implementations (this can be much larger). 4 Notice that, for the tested sizes n, this range is smaller than the threshold 2 √ 2c √ log n defined in Section 4: this is the reason why the feasibility rate is not 100% for large n. Table 1 shows, for all chosen values of p and √ n, the minimum, average and maximum ratio between the costs of the solutions returned by the two algorithms. As for cell-alg, only the costs of feasible solutions are considered.…”

“…Its present best version works in Θ(n 5 ) time and the design of any efficient distributed version seems to be a very hard task. It is important to observe that the MST-based heuristic is "far" from achieving optimal solutions even on a complete square grid of n points [4,17]: its worst-case approximation ratio on such grids is not smaller than 3. In [17], it is also experimentally observed that this heuristic has a bad behavior when applied to random regular instances such as faulty square grids.…”

“…Therefore the MSTbased range assignment is unique. In [42,43] it is shown that even for 2-D networks with special topologies, i.e., when the nodes are located at the intersection points of a square grid, the MST-based range assignment is far from optimal. It is worth mentioning that the MST-based range assignment is the optimal solution for the minimum-energy broadcasting problem in wired networks.…”
