We consider broadcasting in radio networks that are subject to permanent node failures of unknown location. Nodes are spread in a region in some regular way. We consider two cases: nodes are either situated at integer points of a line or they are situated in the plane, at grid points of a square or

β¦ Synopsis
Broadcasting is the task of transmitting a message originated at one processor of a communication network to all other processors in the network. A minimal k-fault-tolerant broadcast network is a communication network on n vertices in which any processor can broadcast in spite of up to k line failures in optimal time T,,(k). In this paper, we study & ( n ) , the minimum number of communication lines of any minimal k-fault-tolerant broadcast network on n processors. We give the value of & ( n ) for several values of n and k and, in case k < Llog n j , give almost-minimum k-fault-tolerant broadcast networks. 0 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The problem of broadcasting in a network is to disseminate information from one node to all other nodes by transmitting it over communication links that connect nodes. We consider the time of broadcasting in the presence of at most k dynamic link failures. If a node knows source information, then in
