Latency Optimal Broadcasting in Noisy Wireless Mesh Networks
In this paper, we adopt a new noisy wireless network model introduced very
recently by Censor-Hillel et al. in [ACM PODC 2017, CHHZ17]. More specifically,
for a given noise parameter any sender has a probability of
of transmitting noise or any receiver of a single transmission in its
neighborhood has a probability of receiving noise.
In this paper, we first propose a new asymptotically latency-optimal
approximation algorithm (under faultless model) that can complete
single-message broadcasting task in time units/rounds in any
WMN of size and diameter . We then show this diameter-linear
broadcasting algorithm remains robust under the noisy wireless network model
and also improves the currently best known result in CHHZ17 by a
factor.
In this paper, we also further extend our robust single-message broadcasting
algorithm to multi-message broadcasting scenario and show it can broadcast
messages in time rounds. This new robust
multi-message broadcasting scheme is not only asymptotically optimal but also
answers affirmatively the problem left open in CHHZ17 on the existence of an
algorithm that is robust to sender and receiver faults and can broadcast
messages in time rounds.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1705.07369 by other author
Message and time efficient multi-broadcast schemes
We consider message and time efficient broadcasting and multi-broadcasting in
wireless ad-hoc networks, where a subset of nodes, each with a unique rumor,
wish to broadcast their rumors to all destinations while minimizing the total
number of transmissions and total time until all rumors arrive to their
destination. Under centralized settings, we introduce a novel approximation
algorithm that provides almost optimal results with respect to the number of
transmissions and total time, separately. Later on, we show how to efficiently
implement this algorithm under distributed settings, where the nodes have only
local information about their surroundings. In addition, we show multiple
approximation techniques based on the network collision detection capabilities
and explain how to calibrate the algorithms' parameters to produce optimal
results for time and messages.Comment: In Proceedings FOMC 2013, arXiv:1310.459
Faster Gossiping in Bidirectional Radio Networks with Large Labels
We consider unknown ad-hoc radio networks, when the underlying network is
bidirectional and nodes can have polynomially large labels. For this model, we
present a deterministic protocol for gossiping which takes rounds. This improves upon the previous best result for deterministic
gossiping for this model by [Gasienec, Potapov, Pagourtizis, Deterministic
Gossiping in Radio Networks with Large labels, ESA (2002)], who present a
protocol of round complexity for this problem. This
resolves open problem posed in [Gasienec, Efficient gossiping in radio
networks, SIROCCO (2009)], who cite bridging gap between lower and upper bounds
for this problem as an important objective. We emphasize that a salient feature
of our protocol is its simplicity, especially with respect to the previous best
known protocol for this problem
Fast Structuring of Radio Networks for Multi-Message Communications
We introduce collision free layerings as a powerful way to structure radio
networks. These layerings can replace hard-to-compute BFS-trees in many
contexts while having an efficient randomized distributed construction. We
demonstrate their versatility by using them to provide near optimal distributed
algorithms for several multi-message communication primitives.
Designing efficient communication primitives for radio networks has a rich
history that began 25 years ago when Bar-Yehuda et al. introduced fast
randomized algorithms for broadcasting and for constructing BFS-trees. Their
BFS-tree construction time was rounds, where is the network
diameter and is the number of nodes. Since then, the complexity of a
broadcast has been resolved to be rounds. On the other hand, BFS-trees have been used as a crucial building
block for many communication primitives and their construction time remained a
bottleneck for these primitives.
We introduce collision free layerings that can be used in place of BFS-trees
and we give a randomized construction of these layerings that runs in nearly
broadcast time, that is, w.h.p. in rounds for any constant . We then use these
layerings to obtain: (1) A randomized algorithm for gathering messages
running w.h.p. in rounds. (2) A randomized -message
broadcast algorithm running w.h.p. in rounds. These
algorithms are optimal up to the small difference in the additive
poly-logarithmic term between and . Moreover, they imply the
first optimal round randomized gossip algorithm
Survey on Data-Centric based Routing Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks
The great concern for energy that grew with the technological advances in the
field of networks and especially in sensor network has triggered various
approaches and protocols that relate to sensor networks. In this context, the
routing protocols were of great interest. The aim of the present paper is to
discuss routing protocols for sensor networks. This paper will focus mainly on
the discussion of the data-centric approach (COUGAR, rumor, SPIN, flooding and
Gossiping), while shedding light on the other approaches occasionally. The
functions of the nodes will be discussed as well. The methodology selected for
this paper is based on a close description and discussion of the protocol. As a
conclusion, open research questions and limitations are proposed to the reader
at the end of this paper
Information Gathering in Ad-Hoc Radio Networks with Tree Topology
We study the problem of information gathering in ad-hoc radio networks
without collision detection, focussing on the case when the network forms a
tree, with edges directed towards the root. Initially, each node has a piece of
information that we refer to as a rumor. Our goal is to design protocols that
deliver all rumors to the root of the tree as quickly as possible. The protocol
must complete this task within its allotted time even though the actual tree
topology is unknown when the computation starts. In the deterministic case,
assuming that the nodes are labeled with small integers, we give an O(n)-time
protocol that uses unbounded messages, and an O(n log n)-time protocol using
bounded messages, where any message can include only one rumor. We also
consider fire-and-forward protocols, in which a node can only transmit its own
rumor or the rumor received in the previous step. We give a deterministic
fire-and- forward protocol with running time O(n^1.5), and we show that it is
asymptotically optimal. We then study randomized algorithms where the nodes are
not labelled. In this model, we give an O(n log n)-time protocol and we prove
that this bound is asymptotically optimal
