Abstract : We study algorithmic and complexity issues originating from the problem of data gathering in wireless networks. We give an algorithm to construct minimum makespan transmission schedules for data gathering when the communication graph $G$ is a tree network, the interference range is \emph{any} integer $m\geq 2$, and no buffering is allowed at intermediate nodes. In the interesting case in which all nodes in the network have to deliver an arbitrary non-zero number of packets, we provide a closed formula for the makespan of the optimal gathering schedule. Additionally, we consider the problem of determining the computational complexity of data gathering in general graphs and show that the problem is weakly NP-complete. On the positive side, we design a simple $(1+2/m)$ factor approximation algorithm for general networks.
