Popis: In this paper, we study the interference-aware broadcast scheduling problem, where all nodes in the Euclidean plane have a transmission range and an interference range equal to r and alphar for alphages1, respectively. Minimizing latency is known to be NP-hard even when alpha=1. The network radius D, the maximum graph distance from the source to any node, is also known to be a lower bound. We formulate the problem as integer programs (IP) and optimally solve moderate-size instances. We also propose six variations of heuristics, which require no pre-processesing of inputs, based on the number of receivers gained by each additional simultaneous broadcasting node. The experimental results show that the best heuristics give the solutions only 13-20% exceeding the optimum solutions. Further, an O(alphaD) schedule is proven to exist yielding an O(alpha) approximation algorithm.
