Let V be a finite set of points in the plane. We present a 2-local algorithm that constructs a plane 4 3 9 -spanner of the unit-disk graph UDG(V ). This algorithm makes only one round of communication and each point of V broadcasts at most 5 messages. This improves the previously best message-bound of 11 by Ara
