摘要:Recent advances in nano-technology have made it possible to develop a large variety of Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS)-miniaturized low-power devices that integrate sensing, special-purpose computing, and wireless communications capabilities. A sensor network is a collection of many small devices, each with sensing, computation, and communication capability. It has many potential applications, such as building surveillance and environmental monitoring. Broadcasting is defined that communications between one source and all receiver in networks, and it is widely used in Wireless Sensor Networks. Therefore, how to design an efficient and scalable broadcast protocol is challenging and meaningful work.
