Notation for the critical-path aware broadcast scheduling.

communication graph of a network
: set of nodes, : set of edges
source node of the network
length of a working period
1-hop neighbors of node in
set of intended receivers with level of a transmission from node
transmitting schedule of node
active slot of node ()
level of node , i.e. minimum latency to receive a message from
latency-ahead value of node
parent node of node in
receiving time of node
