2008 International Conference on Multimedia and Ubiquitous Engineering (mue 2008)
Broadcasting with the Least Energy is an NP-Complete Problem
April 24-April 26
ISBN: 978-0-7695-3134-2
Energy conservation is an important issue in wireless networks. We propose a method for estimating the least amount of energy needed for broadcasting a message to all nodes in the network. The method can work with any reasonable energy models. We prove that this least-energy problem is NP-complete by showing that the maximum-leaf spanning-tree problem is a special case of the least-energy problem.
