Energy-efficient Broadcast Trees for Decentralized Data Dissemination in Wireless Networks.

We present a novel multi-hop data dissemination protocol for wireless networks that minimizes the total energy consumption across an entire network by minimizing the transmission power at each hop. It is based on a game-theoretic model, constructs a spanning tree topology in a decentralized manner, and is usable in practice. We evaluate the protocol via simulation and a pratical implementation on a testbed of 75 Raspberry Pis, demonstrating that a total energy reduction of up to 90% can be achieved compared to a simple broadcast protocol.
