摘要
Nodes of wireless ad-hoc networks are generally equipped with batteries. This makes energy a scarce resource. Therefore, power consumption of network operations is critical and subject to optimization. One of the fundamental problems in ad-hoc networks is multicasting. In this work, we consider the so-called minimum energy multicast (MEM) problem in static ad-hoc networks. This problem can be stated as a combinatorial optimization problem. We develop an ant colony optimization algorithm for networks with omni-directional as well as directional antennas. The results show that our algorithm consistently outperforms existing techniques. © Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2009.
