We consider a scenario of broadcasting information over a network of nodes connected by noiseless communication links. A source node in the network has some data packets to broadcast. It encodes these data packets into $n$ coded packets in…
We consider a scenario of broadcasting information over a network of nodes connected by noiseless communication links. A source node in the network has $k$ data packets to broadcast, and it suffices that a large fraction of the network…
This paper is concerned with the problem of broadcasting information from a source node to every node in an ad-hoc network. Flooding, as a broadcast mechanism, involves each node forwarding any packet it receives to all its neighbours. This…
The Min Energy broadcast problem consists in assigning transmission ranges to the nodes of an ad-hoc network in order to guarantee a directed spanning tree from a given source node and, at the same time, to minimize the energy consumption…

In a wired network, a packet can be transmitted to a specified destination only, no broadcasting required. But in ad hoc wireless network a packet transmitted by a node can reach all neighbors due to broadcasting. This broadcasting…
This paper studies broadcasting and gossiping algorithms in random and general AdHoc networks. Our goal is not only to minimise the broadcasting and gossiping time, but also to minimise the energy consumption, which is measured in terms of…
This paper revisits the study of (minimum) broadcast graphs, i.e., graphs enabling fast information dissemination from every source node to all the other nodes (and having minimum number of edges for this property). This study is performed…

In Mobile Ad-Hoc networks, broadcasting is a fundamental operation in the network layer. A node transmits a rebroadcast message to any or all other nodes whenever it receives for the first time. It will generate several redundant…
We consider a setting in which a sender wishes to broadcast a block of K data packets to a set of wireless receivers, where each of the receivers has a subset of the data packets already available to it (e.g., from prior transmissions) and…
We consider the problem of dominating set-based virtual backbone used for routing in asymmetric wireless ad-hoc networks. These networks have non-uniform transmission ranges and are modeled using the well-established disk graphs. The…
Radio networks are a long-studied model for distributed system of devices which communicate wirelessly. When these devices are mobile or have limited capabilities, the system is often best modeled by the ad-hoc variant, in which the devices…
Random geometric graphs (RGGs) are commonly used to model networked systems that depend on the underlying spatial embedding. We concern ourselves with the probability distribution of an RGG, which is crucial for studying its random…

In this paper, we propose an alternative for routing based packet forwarding, which uses network coding to increase transmission efficiency, in terms of both compression and error resilience. This non-adaptive encoding is called quantized…
Geocasting is the delivery of packets to nodes within a certain geographic area. For many applications in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, geocasting is an important and frequent communication service. The challenging problem in…
Random 1/2-disk routing in wireless ad-hoc networks is a localized geometric routing scheme in which each node chooses the next relay randomly among the nodes within its transmission range and in the general direction of the destination. We…
