Dominating Sets and Neighbor Elimination-Based Broadcasting Algorithms in Wireless Networks

VOL. 13, NO. 1, JANUARY 2002 | Ivan Stojmenovic, Mahtab Seddigh, and Jovisa Zunic
The paper "Dominating Sets and Neighbor Elimination-Based Broadcasting Algorithms in Wireless Networks" by Ivan Stojmenovic, Mahtab Seddigh, and Jovisa Zunic proposes a novel approach to reduce communication overhead in broadcasting tasks within multihop wireless networks. The authors introduce the concept of localized dominating sets, which are sets of nodes that can reach all other nodes within their transmission radius. By maintaining these sets, the communication overhead is significantly reduced, as only internal nodes need to retransmit messages. The paper also introduces a neighbor elimination scheme, where nodes only retransmit messages if their neighbors have not already received the message, further reducing the number of retransmissions. The authors compare their methods with existing broadcasting algorithms, including clustering-based and multipoint relay methods. They demonstrate that their proposed algorithms achieve higher reliability, lower retransmission rates, and reduced communication overhead compared to these methods. The performance of the algorithms is evaluated through experiments on random unit graphs, showing that their methods can achieve reliable broadcasting with up to 53% fewer node retransmissions on average degrees ranging from 4 to 10. The paper also discusses the impact of various factors such as message size, traffic, and node mobility on the performance of the proposed algorithms. Overall, the authors conclude that their methods provide a more efficient and reliable solution for broadcasting tasks in wireless networks.The paper "Dominating Sets and Neighbor Elimination-Based Broadcasting Algorithms in Wireless Networks" by Ivan Stojmenovic, Mahtab Seddigh, and Jovisa Zunic proposes a novel approach to reduce communication overhead in broadcasting tasks within multihop wireless networks.
