Abstract

The paper concerns time-efficient k-shot broadcasting in undirected radio networks. In a k-shot broadcasting algorithm, each node in the network is allowed to transmit at most k times. Both known and unknown topology models are considered. For the known topology model, the problem has been studied before by Ga̧sieniec et al. [14], who established an upper bound of D+O(kn 1/(k-2)log2 n) and a lower bound of on the length of k-shot broadcasting schedules for n-node graphs of diameter D. We improve both the upper and the lower bound, providing a randomized algorithm for constructing a k-shot broadcasting schedule of length D+O(kn 1/2k log 2+1/k n) on undirected graphs, and a lower bound of , which almost closes the gap between these bounds. For the unknown topology model, we provide the first k-shot broadcasting algorithm. Assuming that each node knows only the network size n (or a linear upper bound on it), our randomized k-shot broadcasting algorithm completes broadcasting in O((D+min {D •k,logn}) •n 1/(k-1)logn) rounds with high probability. Moreover, we present an -shot broadcasting algorithm that completes broadcasting in at most O(Dlogn+log2 n) rounds with high probability. This algorithm matches the broadcasting time of the algorithm of Bar-Yehuda et al. [3], which assumes no limitation on the maximum number of transmissions per node.
