Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks
12.2.3 Remarks
As we discussed in Section 12.1, the broadcasting algorithms for traditional wireless
networks cannot be applied to CRNs trivially. This is because the only major con-
cern for broadcast scheduling in traditional wireless networks is to deal with wireless
interference. Nevertheless, besides wireless interference, the spectrum opportunity is
another important concern when design broadcast scheduling algorithms for CRNs.
Existing works for the broadcast scheduling issue in CRNs only provide some simple
heuristic algorithms without theoretical performance guarantees. To remedy this gap,
we first design ...
