Abstrakt: We consider setting up sleep scheduling in sensor networks. We formulate the problem as an instance of the fractional domatic partition problem and obtain a distributed approximation algorithm by applying linear programming approximation techniques. Our algorithm is an application of the Garg-Könemann (GK) scheme that requires solving an instance of the minimum weight dominating set (MWDS) problem as a subroutine. Our two main contributions are a distributed implementation of the GK scheme for the sleep-scheduling problem and a novel asynchronous distributed algorithm for approximating MWDS based on a primal-dual analysis of Chvátal΄s set-cover algorithm. We evaluate our algorithm with ns2 simulations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
