Abstract

We propose a notion of extended dominating set whereby each node in an ad hoc network is covered by either a dominating neighbor or several 2-hop dominating neighbors. This work is motivated by cooperative communication in ad hoc networks where transmitting independent copies of a packet generates diversity and combats the effects of fading. In this paper we propose several efficient heuristic algorithms for constructing a small extended dominating set.
