The Wireless Gathering Problem is to find an interference-free schedule for data gathering in a wireless network in minimum time. We present a 4-approximate polynomial-time on-line algorithm for this NP-hard problem. We show that no shortest path following algorithm can have an approximation ratio better than 4. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract

The Wireless Gathering Problem is to find an interference-free schedule for data gathering in a wireless network in minimum time. We present a 4-approximate polynomial-time on-line algorithm for this NP-hard problem. We show that no shortest path following algorithm can have an approximation ratio better than 4. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
