Energy-Efficient Broadcast and Multicast in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
无线自组织网络中能量有效的广播与组播

This paper gives an introduction to the energy-efficient broadcast/multicast routing problem and makes a survey on recent existed algorithms. Firstly, an introduction is made to the broadcast/multicast routing problem. Secondly, the communication and energy models, the definition of energy-efficiency and the optimization objectives are clearly presented. Finally, comparison is made for existing representative algorithms in two aspects: minimum energy and maximum lifetime. Open research issues and research trends are also discussed.
