Abstract
Embodiments of a system and method for finding optimal routes for simultaneous transmissions over broadcast medium are generally described herein. In some embodiments, nodes are placed into a cost matrix representing a connected graph of nodes, virtual nodes are identified by applying matrix operations to the cost matrix and backtracking is performed incrementally to build candidates of virtual nodes for a solution set from the identified virtual nodes and to eliminate unsuitable candidates.
