Abstract:
Methods and systems for reliable broadcasting that use re-transmissions, in a multi-hop, time-slotted wireless network, is presented. The methods and systems evaluate the trade-off between power consumption and communication reliability, and are consequently able to provide increasing degrees of robustness for broadcasts in the wireless network. Embodiments of the present invention are able to incrementally use re-transmissions, therein trading-off battery life for an increased message completion rate or a lower packet error rate, for example, in order to reliably broadcast critical or high-priority message network-wide.

Claim (Index 17):
A system for reliable broadcasting in a wireless network, the system comprising:\n a source node; and a plurality of relay nodes, wherein the source node is configured to:\n broadcast a first transmission in a first timeslot of the plurality of timeslots; \n determine a type of the first transmission; and \n re-broadcast, upon determining that the first transmission is of a first type, the first transmission in a second timeslot that is two timeslots after the first timeslot, and \n wherein each of the plurality of relay nodes is configured to:\n receive a second transmission in a third timeslot of a plurality of timeslots; \n broadcast the second transmission in a fourth timeslot that is subsequent to the third timeslot; \n determine the type of the second transmission; and \n re-broadcast, upon determining that the second transmission is of the first type, the second transmission in a fifth timeslot that is two timeslots after the fourth timeslot.
