Abstract

Different from omni-directional antennas, directional antennas model allows that each sensor can adjust the beam-width from 驴minto 360° and steer the antenna orientation to any desired direction [1], [2]. In this paper, we discuss the energy efficient broadcast problem with the directional antenna model in ad hoc sensor networks. The problem of our concern is: given nnodes and a broadcast request from s, each node equips a directional antenna with at least minimum angle 驴min, find a broadcast tree rooted at sand spanning all other nodes, in which each submitting node selects its propagation area, such that the total energy cost of the broadcast tree is minimized. We propose a greedy algorithm for this problem, and extensive simulation results have demonstrated the performance of our algorithm is more efficient than D-BIP algorithm[2].
