On Efficient Distributed Construction of Near Optimal Routing Schemes
Given a distributed network represented by a weighted undirected graph
on vertices, and a parameter , we devise a distributed
algorithm that computes a routing scheme in
rounds, where is the hop-diameter of the network. The running time matches
the lower bound of rounds (which holds for any
scheme with polynomial stretch), up to lower order terms. The routing tables
are of size , the labels are of size , and
every packet is routed on a path suffering stretch at most . Our
construction nearly matches the state-of-the-art for routing schemes built in a
centralized sequential manner. The previous best algorithms for building
routing tables in a distributed small messages model were by \cite[STOC
2013]{LP13} and \cite[PODC 2015]{LP15}. The former has similar properties but
suffers from substantially larger routing tables of size ,
while the latter has sub-optimal running time of
Distributed Connectivity Decomposition
We present time-efficient distributed algorithms for decomposing graphs with
large edge or vertex connectivity into multiple spanning or dominating trees,
respectively. As their primary applications, these decompositions allow us to
achieve information flow with size close to the connectivity by parallelizing
it along the trees. More specifically, our distributed decomposition algorithms
are as follows:
(I) A decomposition of each undirected graph with vertex-connectivity
into (fractionally) vertex-disjoint weighted dominating trees with total weight
, in rounds.
(II) A decomposition of each undirected graph with edge-connectivity
into (fractionally) edge-disjoint weighted spanning trees with total
weight , in
rounds.
We also show round complexity lower bounds of
and
for the above two decompositions,
using techniques of [Das Sarma et al., STOC'11]. Moreover, our
vertex-connectivity decomposition extends to centralized algorithms and
improves the time complexity of [Censor-Hillel et al., SODA'14] from
to near-optimal .
As corollaries, we also get distributed oblivious routing broadcast with
-competitive edge-congestion and -competitive
vertex-congestion. Furthermore, the vertex connectivity decomposition leads to
near-time-optimal -approximation of vertex connectivity: centralized
and distributed . The former moves
toward the 1974 conjecture of Aho, Hopcroft, and Ullman postulating an
centralized exact algorithm while the latter is the first distributed vertex
connectivity approximation
A Review of Interference Reduction in Wireless Networks Using Graph Coloring Methods
The interference imposes a significant negative impact on the performance of
wireless networks. With the continuous deployment of larger and more
sophisticated wireless networks, reducing interference in such networks is
quickly being focused upon as a problem in today's world. In this paper we
analyze the interference reduction problem from a graph theoretical viewpoint.
A graph coloring methods are exploited to model the interference reduction
problem. However, additional constraints to graph coloring scenarios that
account for various networking conditions result in additional complexity to
standard graph coloring. This paper reviews a variety of algorithmic solutions
for specific network topologies.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
