Abstract

Broadcast is a fundamental operation in wireless networks and naive flooding is not practical because it cannot deal with interference. Scheduling is a good way to avoid interference, but previous studies on broadcast scheduling algorithms all assume highly theoretical models such as the unit disk graph model. In this work, we re-investigate this problem using the 2-Disk and the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) model to realize it. We first design a constant approximation algorithm for the 2-Disk model and then extend it to the SINR model. This result is the first result on broadcast scheduling algorithms in SINR model, to the best of our knowledge.
