An analytical approach to the design of wireless broadcast disks systems

The Broadcast Disks method is commonly used to schedule the data transmission in wireless push based networks. The performance of a system that utilizes this method depends upon several parameters. This paper presents the Optimization- Based Procedure (OBP), an analytical approach for estimating the optimal values of these parameters. The validity of the analysis is verified through simulation and comparison with other popular and traditional approaches. The new approach was found to be accurate and dominant in the vast majority of a wide set of test cases. It also provided a thorough insight of the system´s stability and behavior in general.
