The minimum energy broadcast problem is for all deployed nodes to minimize a total transmission energy for performing a broadcast operation in wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a Tabu search algorithm to solve efficiently the minimum energy broadcast problem on the basis of meta-heuristic approach in wireless sensor networks. In order to make a search more efficient, we propose a novel neighborhood generating method and a repair function of the proposed algorithm. We compare the performance of the proposed algorithm with other existing algorithms through some experiments in terms of the total transmission energy of nodes and algorithm computation time. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is efficient for the minimum energy broadcast problem in wireless sensor networks.

Unlike wired networks, broadcasting in wireless networks can transmit data to several nodes at a time in a single transmission. The omnidirectional broadcasting of node in wireless networks simultaneously reaches all neighboring nodes. In this paper, we propose a greedy algorithm to solve the minimum power broadcasting problem that minimizes the total transmission power when broadcasting in wireless networks. The proposed algorithm uses a neighborhood list which is a set of nodes that can transmit messages within the maximum transmission range of each node, and among the transmitting nodes that have received the data, the node having the largest number of the neighboring nodes firstly transmits the data to neighboring node. The performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated by computer simulation, and was compared with existing algorithms in terms of total transmission power and broadcasting frequency for broadcasting to all nodes. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional algorithms.

센서 노드의 제한된 전력(power)으로 인해, 센서 네트워크에서의 통신은 에너지 소비를 최소로 하여 네트워크의 수명을 길게 하는 것이 가장 큰 목표 중 하나이다. 또한, 센서 네트워크에서는 일대일 통신보다는 하나의 노드에서 네트워크 상의 모든 노드로 패킷을 전달하는 브로드캐스트 통신이 빈번히 사용된다 이러한 이유들로 인해서 여러 에너지 효율적인 브로드캐스트 기법들이 제안되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 'Angle-Based' 브로트캐스트 알고리즘을 제안한다. 'Angle-Based' 기법은 각 센서 노드가 자신이 받은 패킷을 통해 이웃 노드와의 각도를 계산하고, 그것을 바탕으로 패킷의 재전송 여부를 결정하는 방식이다. 따라서 이웃 노드들의 정보를 미리 가지고 있지 않고도 재전송 노드의 수를 최소화할 수 있다. 그리고 무엇보다 'Angle-Based' 기법은 높은 신뢰성(reliability)을 제공하는데, 이는 각도 정보를 사용하여 소스의 전송범위 내의 모든 영역에서 골고루 재전송이 이루어지도록 하기 때문이다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 'Ang1e-Based' 방법은 에너지 효율적으로 재전송이 이루어졌으며 이웃 노드들의 정보를 사용하지 않는 다른 브로드캐스트 기법들보다 신뢰성 측면에서 특히 뛰어난 결과를 보였다.

Unlike wired networks, broadcasting in wireless networks can transmit data at once to several nodes with a single transmission. For omnidirectional broadcast to a node in wireless networks, all adjacent nodes receive the data at the same time. In this paper, we propose a greedy algorithm to solve the minimum power broadcasting problem of minimizing the total transmit power on broadcasting in wireless networks. We apply two matrices to the proposed algorithm: one is a distance matrix that represents the distance between each node, the other is an adjacency matrix having the number of adjacency nodes. Among the nodes that receive the data, a node that has the greatest number of the adjacent node transmits data to neighbor preferential. We compare the performance of the proposed algorithm with random method through computer simulation in terms of transmitting power of nodes. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms better than the random method.
