Abstract

Broadcasting a message from a given source node to all other nodes is a fundamental task during the operation of a wireless network. In

many application scenarios the network nodes have only a limited energy supply, hence minimizing the energy consumption of any communication task prolongs the lifetime of the network

In this talk we consider a constrained broadcast operation, where a
source node wants to send a message to all other nodes in the network
but at most k nodes are allowed to participate actively.

For the case of network nodes embedded in the Euclidean plane we provide an O(1)-approximation algorithm with running time linear in the number of nodes and polynomial in k.
