Abstract: A wireless ad hoc network comprises of nodes with stringent energy constraint. Under these conditions, how to reduce the energy consumption in order to extend the survival time of the nodes is a very important research topic. In general, the transmission between nodes is based on a unit disc graph (UDG) model. Regardless of the distance between nodes, all transmissions are performed with maximum power, resulting in energy waste. In a relative neighborhood graph (RNG), each node maintains its own list of relative neighbors. The distance between neighbors is used to adjust transmission power to reduce energy consumption. In this paper the concept of forbidden set is used in conjunction with RNG to devise a distributed broadcast algorithm. When the remaining battery capacity of a node falls below a threshold value, it will be added to the forbidden set and prohibited from serving as a re-broadcast node. Through this selection mechanism we can effectively avoid the disruption of the broadcast path caused by power exhaustion at nodes with low energy capacity and achieve the goal of extending the survival time of the broadcast path. Further power saving is facilitated by removing redundant re-broadcasts. Simulation results confirm the advantages of the proposed algorithm.
