Abstract :
We present an upper bound on the broadcast capacity of arbitrary ad hoc wireless networks. The throughput obtainable by each node for broadcasting to-all-of the other nodes in a network consisting of n nodes with- fixed transmission ranges and C bits per second channel capacity is bounded by O(C/n), which is equivalent to the upper bound for per node capacity of a fully connected single-hop network
