Abstract

Epidemic protocols have been heralded as appropriate for wireless sensor networks. The nodes in such networks have limited battery resources. In this paper, we investigate the use of power in three styles of epidemic protocols: basic epidemics, neighborhood flooding epidemics, and hierarchical epidemics. Basic epidemics turn out to be highly power hungry, and are not appropriate for power-aware applications. Both neighborhood and hierarchical epidemics can be made to use power judiciously, but a trade-off exist between scalability and latency.
