Network information broadcasting in narrow band self-organizing networks

Network information broadcasting in narrow band self-organizing networks is bounded by the low data transmission rate in such networks. Frequent broadcasting of network information leads to losing it due to collisions, which increases the station notification time about changes in the network. Rare broadcasting of network information reduces the probability of packet collisions but station notification time about changes also increases. For a given message broadcasting period the collision probability may be reduced if stations send out only changes in the network information. In this work, we introduce an original criterion for the efficiency of network information broadcasting that takes into account its relevance and propose a method to analytically estimate this criterion. With the introduced criterion, we perform efficient tuning of parameters for network information broadcasting parameters and perform a comparative analysis of two approaches: broadcasting complete network information and broadcasting incremental changes in the network information.
