Computing connected dominated sets with multipoint relays
Résumé
Multipoint relays offer an optimized way of flooding packets in a radio network. However, this technique requires the last hop knowledge: to decide wether or not a flooding packet is retransmitted, a node needs to know from which node the packet was received. When considering broadcasting at IP level, this information may be difficult to obtain. We thus propose a scheme for computing an optimized connected dominating set from multipoint relays. This set allows to efficiently broadcast packets without the last hop information with performances close to multipoint relay flooding.
