Algorithms for Communication in Wireless multi-hop ad hoc Networks using Broadcasts in Opportunistic Large Arrays (OLA)

A new physical layer technique [1] for broadcasting in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks makes broadcast a much more efficient building block than traditional flooding broadcast. This broadcasting technique requires that all nodes that receive a message retransmit it at the same time. Because the messages are identical, interference can be constructive rather than destructive, and the multiple transmitters act as an antenna array
