Abstract

In this paper we discuss minimum energy broadcast routing with directional antennas in ad hoc and sensor networks. We assume that the network consists of sensor nodes whose antennas are Switched beam directional antennas. The problem of our concern is: given a set V with n nodes and each node v i has l(i) transmission directions (i.e. the antenna sectors) and a broadcast request sourced at s, how to find a broadcast tree rooted at s and spanning all nodes in V such that the total energy is minimized. This problem involves with the choice of transmitting nodes and their transmission directions, which is NP-hard. We propose a |V|-approximation algorithm and one heuristic for the problem. Extensive simulations have demonstrated the efficiency of our algorithms.
