Abstract

Gossiping is to broadcast the message of every node to all the other nodes in multi-hop wireless networks (MWNs). This operation plays an important role and is widely used in MWNs. Interference-aware gossiping scheduling (IAGS) aims to provide an interference-free scheduling for gossiping with the minimum latency. Previous work on IAGS mostly assumes that nodes are always active, and thus is not suitable for duty-cycled scenarios. In this paper, we investigate the IAGS problem in uncoordinated duty-cycled multi-hop wireless networks (IAGS-UDC problem) under protocol interference model and unbounded-size message model. We prove that the IAGS-UDC problem is NP-hard. We propose a novel approximation algorithm called MILD for this problem. The MILD algorithm achieves an approximation ratio of 3β2(Δ + 6)|T|, where β is ⌈2/3(α + 2)⌉,α denotes the ratio of the interference radius to the transmission radius, Δ denotes the maximum node degree of the network, and |T| denotes the number of time-slots in a scheduling period. Moreover, the number of transmissions scheduled by the MILD algorithm is at most 3 times as large as the minimum number of transmissions.
