| Abstract | We investigate the problem of constructing a multicast tree in ad-hoc networks. In particular, we address the issue of the power consumption, that is, the overall energy that the stations must spend to implement such a tree. We focus on two extreme cases of multicast: broadcast (one-to-all) and unicast (one-to-one). Minimum Spanning Trees (MSTs) and Shortest-Path Trees (SPTs) yield optimal solutions for broadcast and unicast, respectively. Unfortunately, they do not guarantee any optimality for the "counterpart", that is, MSTs are non-optimal for unicast, while SPTs are non-optimal for broadcast.In this work, we experimentally evaluate the performances of an algorithm combining MST solutions with SPT ones. Our approach is based on the construction of Light Approximate Shortest-path Trees (LASTs) of a given directed weighted graph, introduced by Khuller et al [1995]. LASTs approximate simultaneously the cost of the MST and the distances of the SPT rooted at a source node, thus yielding, also in the worst case, optimal solutions for both unicast and broadcast.Rather surprisingly, this "compromise" between MSTs and SPTs, has a very good performance w.r.t the broadcast tree obtained from a MST. Indeed, for randomly-generated instances, the broadcast tree obtained with LASTs is in some cases better (and never much worse) than the broadcast tree obtained from MSTs. This important fact shows that LASTs are not only interesting in theory, but they have practical relevant applications. Indeed, their use in our experiments also provides new insights on the approximation ratio of the MST broadcast algorithm for randomly-generated instances. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
