Abstract

This paper discussed 2 approaches to communication algorithms; 2-level clustering mesh approach and 1-level flat mesh approach, and proposes one of them which makes it appear that the total amount of expended energy becomes lesser. Wu and Dai [1] previously proposed 2 approaches; 2-level clustering approach and 1-level flat approach. This study [1] is based on the virtual backbone conception. Our 2 proposed approaches change the clustering performed in [1] into mesh so that energy consumption becomes smaller in a broadcasting. Total energy is required in not only the broadcasting process but also the construction process of a broadcasting tree. This is our approaches become disadvantageous. In [2], we gave the static properties of our approaches. This paper gives the advantageous bound of mobile movement for the 1 level flat mesh approach through our simulation study in realistic situations where a certain percentage of total mobiles move at random speeds.
