Improved randomized broadcast protocols in multi-hop radio networks

Abstract
This paper presents a suite of randomized broadcast protocols for the problem of broadcasting a message in multihop radio networks. The protocols are compared with the randomized broadcast protocol by R. Bar-Yehuda et al. (1989, 1991, 1992). The time complexity of one of the randomized broadcast protocols presented in this paper is shown, by simulation, to be much better than those of other protocols in most of the typical cases.
