Abstract
In this paper, We discuss the minimum energy broadcast problem (MEB) in multi-channel multi-hop wireless networks with directional antennas (MEB-MB). This problem is NP-hard since its special version, MEB in single-channel network with directional antennas (MEB-SB) is proved to be NP-hard. We design an efficient approximation for MEB-MB problem, analyze its approximation ratio, and evaluate its performance via numerical experiments.
