Summary: Radio coloring of a graph \(G\) with diameter \(d\) is an assignment \(f\) of positive integers to the vertices of \(G\) such that \(|f(u)-f(v)|\geq 1+d-d(u,v)\), where \(u\) and \(v\) are any two distinct vertices of \(G\) and \(d(u,v)\) is the distance between \(u\) and \(v\). The number \(\max\{f(u): u\in V(G)\}\) is called the span of \(f\). The minimum of spans over all radio colorings of \(G\) is called radio number of \(G\), denoted by \(rn(G)\). An \(m\)-distant tree \(T\) is a tree in which there is a path \(P\) of maximum length such that every vertex in \(V(T)\setminus V(P)\) is at the most distance \(m\) from \(P\). This path \(P\) is called a central path. For every tree \(T\), there is an integer \(m\) such that \(T\) is an \(m\)-distant tree. In this paper, we determine the radio number of some \(m\)-distant trees for any positive integer \(m\geq 2\), and as a consequence of it, we find the radio number of a class of 1-distant trees (or caterpillars).
