Minimum node weight spanning trees searching algorithm for broadcast transmission in sensor networks

2017

A minimum node weight spanning tree in a weighted, directed graph is a tree whose node with maximum out-weight is minimal among all spanning trees. This type of trees are important because they appear in the solutions of the maximum lifetime broadcasting problem in wireless sensor networks. In a complete graph build of N nodes there are NN-2 spanning trees and to find such trees it is necessary to perform more than O(NN-2) operations. In this paper we propose an algorithm for searching the minimum node weight spanning trees in the graph. In the proposed algorithm, instead of calculating the symbolic determinant of the generalized Laplacian matrix, numerical operations on its exponents are p…
