An information sharing method using compressed sensing in wireless distributed networks

In wireless distributed networks, each node establishes its route autonomously. The optimum route should be selected according to the change in radio propagation environment. Link-state routing is a technique that shares link quality information and selects the optimum route from that information. Flooding is considered as an information sharing method, but it causes a broadcast storm problem. In this paper, to reduce the amount of information that needs to be transmitted, we propose an information sharing method that uses compressed sensing for link quality in wireless distributed networks. We evaluate the reduction effect of transmitting information by using compressed sensing.
