A max-group coloring-based gossiping mechanism using double-face phased array radar for wireless multi-hop networks

Gossiping (all-to-all broadcast) plays an important role in network communication. There are many studies of gossiping trying to reduce the transmission energy consumption and time consumption. Nevertheless, with wide applications of double-face phased array radar in military and other special fields, a specific gossiping mechanism for this model is needed. In this paper, we consider the gossiping with double-face phased array radar model and global topology model. Then a maxgroup coloring-based gossiping mechanism for wireless multi-hop networks is proposed. The mechanism introduces virtual nodes and virtual links in the topology generating process, and takes the idea of coloring. In addition, a direction selecting mechanism is proposed for improving the performance of the gossiping process. Finally, the simulations show that the proposed mechanism could reduce time consumption significantly.
