Abstract: In a Wireless Sensor Networking (WSN) environment, the network consists of a set of many sensors that gather data and collaborate together. In wireless sensor and ad hoc networks, broadcasting is one of the fundamental operations. In order to disseminate a message from a node also called a source to all other nodes in the network, it uses the broadcasting mechanism. In computer networks, the broadcast or multicast procedures are much more important than traditional point-to-point communication. In this project, two types of broadcasting methods are combined. Here, a two stage execution of a new algorithm is defined; construction of backbone is the beginning. Then from sink node, it broadcast the packets using this backbone. For performing basic data communication operation, backbones will be used here. This paper mainly focuses on the structured WSNs broadcasting. So the procedures of data communication in network are much easier than in unstructured WSNs. It will make an overview of Multi Point Relay (MPR) in order to show its weakness. Then, a cluster-based architecture is defined which is constructed using MPR. Based on the previous cluster architecture, a new broadcast algorithm is provided called 3B (Backbone Based Broadcasting) using HEATE algorithm. By the end, an illustration of this shows that the energy consumption will be minimized for accomplishing broadcast compared to MPR.
