Abstract

In this paper, we address the impact of resource limitations on the operation and performance of the broadcasting and multicasting schemes developed for infrastructureless wireless networks in our earlier studies. These schemes, which provide energy-efficient operation for source-initiated session traffic, were previously studied without fully accounting for such limitations. We discuss the “node-based” nature of the all-wireless medium, and demonstrate that improved performance can be obtained when such properties are exploited by networking algorithms. Our broadcast and multicast algorithms involve the joint choice of transmitter power and tree construction, and thus depart from the conventional approach that makes design choices at each layer separately. We indicate how the impact of limited frequency resources can be addressed. Alternative schemes are developed for frequency assignment, and their performance is compared under different levels of traffic load, while also incorporating the impact of limited transceiver resources. The performance results include the comparison of our algorithms to alternative “link-based” algorithms for broadcasting and multicasting.
