Directional Reception vs. Directional Transmission for Maximum Lifetime Multicast Delivery in Ad-Hoc Networks

چکیده
In this paper, we present a mixed-integer linear program (MILP) designed to optimize max-min path lifetime for multicasts in directional antenna equipped networks in the presence of interference. We then employ the MILP to perform a head-to-head comparison between directional transmission and directional reception. We also propose and analyze a new directional reception heuristic. Our results indicate that directional reception can match directional transmission when extending path lifetime, with lower complexity and employing routes that use much less cumulative power.

Multicast communication in ad hoc networks with directional antennas
Abstract— This paper investigates the benefits and impacts of using directional antennas for multicast communications in ad hoc networks. In terms of signal reception, directional antennas have shown considerable improvement in the performance of all aspects over omni-directional antennas, especially over dense networks with heavy traffic load. In addition, we have found that transmitting multi...

The use of directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks can significantly improve global performance due to a high spatial channel reuse. Nevertheless, its introduction poses new location dependent problems related to the MAC protocol. In this paper, the Balanced Incomplete Block Design theory has been exploited to develop a new MAC protocol for wireless ad hoc networks using directional ant...
متن کاملTwo performance Guaranteed Multicast Algorithms for Lifetime Optimization in WANETs
Introduction In wireless ad hoc networks (WANETs), nodes are usually powered by a limited capacity battery. As nodes’ batteries are drained and they stop functioning, the network will eventually cease to be usable. Consequently, energy efficiency is an important design consideration for these networks. The optimization metric for the MLM (Maximum Lifetime Multicast) problem is typically defined...
متن کاملTree-Based Distributed Multicast Algorithms for Directional Communications and Lifetime Optimization in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
We consider the problem of maximizing the network lifetime in WANETs (wireless ad hoc networks) with limited energy resources using omnidirectional or directional antennas. Unlike most solutions that use a centralized multicast algorithm, we use graph-theoretic approach to solve the problem in a distributed manner. After providing a globally optimal solution for the special case of single multi...
