Abstract

In this paper a conflict-free data aggregation problem, known as a Convergecast Scheduling Problem, is considered. It is NP-hard in the arbitrary wireless network. The paper deals with a special case of the problem when the communication graph is a square grid with unit cells and when the transmission range is 2 (in \(L_1\) metric). Earlier for the case under consideration we proposed a polynomial time algorithm with a guaranteed accuracy bound. In this paper we have shown that the proposed algorithm constructs an optimal solution to the problem.
