Efficiency of broadcast transmission based on Cluster Heads in clusterized wireless network has been assessed in this paper. The proposed algorithm uses MPR (Multi Point Relay) method based on Cluster Heads (CH-MPR-BC). Most results were compared with classical solution which uses GateWay nodes at the edge of clusters as retransmitters. It is shown that for clustered network, CH-MPR-BC can be reliable and effective energetically. Tests have been done for static network assuming Free Space Path Loss propagation model with assumed reliability of information delivery in radio link. Energy results were additionally compared with Classical Flooding and MPR algorithms.
