Abstract

A fundamental problem in wireless sensor networks is to connect a given set of sensors while minimizing the receiver interference. This is modeled as follows: each sensor node corresponds to a point in R^d and each transmission range corresponds to a ball. The receiver interference of a sensor node is defined as the number of transmission ranges it lies in. Our goal is to choose transmission radii that minimize the maximum interference while maintaining a strongly connected asymmetric communication graph. For the two-dimensional case, we show that it is NP-complete to decide whether one can achieve a receiver interference of at most 5 . In the one-dimensional case, we prove that there are optimal solutions with nontrivial structural properties. These properties can be exploited to obtain an exact algorithm that runs in quasi-polynomial time. This generalizes a result by Tan et al. to the asymmetric case.
