Abstract: We study distributed broadcasting protocols with few transmissions (`shots') in radio networks where the topology is unknown. In particular, we examine the case in which a bound k is given and a node may transmit at most k times during the broadcasting protocol. Initially, we focus on oblivious algorithms for k-shot broadcasting, that is, algorithms where each node decides whether to transmit or not with no consideration of the transmission history. Our main contributions are (a) a lower bound of Omega(n2/k) on the broadcasting time of any oblivious k-shot broadcasting algorithm and (b) an oblivious broadcasting protocol that achieves a matching upper bound, namely O(n2/k), for every klesqrtn and an upper bound of O(n3/2) for every k>sqrtn. We also study the general case of adaptive broadcasting protocols where nodes decide whether to transmit based on all the available information, namely the transmission history known by each. We prove a lower bound of Omegaleft(nfrac1+kkight) on the broadcasting time of any protocol by introducing the emph{transmission tree} construction which generalizes previous approaches.
