Abstract

Minimum-latency beaconing schedule (MLBS) in synchronous multihop wireless networks seeks a schedule for beaconing with the shortest latency. This problem is NP-hard even when the interference radius is equal to the transmission radius. All prior works assume that the interference radius is equal to the transmission radius, and the best-known approximation ratio for MLBS under this special interference model is 7. In this paper, we present a new approximation algorithm called strip coloring for MLBS under the general protocol interference model. Its approximation ratio is at most 5 when the interference radius is equal to transmission radius, and is between 3 and 6 in general. © 2009 IEEE.
