The Impact of Knowledge on Broadcasting Time in Radio Networks

چکیده
We consider the problem of distributed deterministic broadcasting in radio networks. Nodes send messages in synchronous time-slots. Each node v has a given transmission range. All nodes located within this range can receive messages from v. However, a node situated in the range of two or more nodes that send messages simultaneously, cannot receive these messages and hears only noise. Each node knows only its own position and range, as well as the maximum of all ranges. Broadcasting is adaptive: Nodes can decide on the action to take on the basis of previously received messages, silence or noise. We prove lower bounds on broadcasting time in this model and construct broadcasting protocols whose performance nearly matches these bounds for the simplest case when nodes are situated on a line. We also show that if nodes do not even know their own range, every broadcasting protocol must be hopelessly slow. While distributed randomized broadcasting algorithms, and, on the other hand, determin-istic oo-line broadcasting algorithms assuming full knowledge of the radio network, have been extensively studied in the literature, ours are the rst results concerning broadcasting algorithms that are distributed and deterministic at the same time. We show that in this case the amount of knowledge available to nodes innuences the eeciency of broadcasting in a signiicant way.

متن کاملBroadcasting in Geometric Radio Networks
We consider deterministic broadcasting in geometric radio networks (GRN) whose nodes know only a limited part of the network. Nodes of a GRN are situated in the plane and each of them is equipped with a transmitter of some range r . A signal from this node can reach all nodes at distance at most r from it but if a node u is situated within the range of two nodes transmitting simultaneously, the...

متن کاملFast Radio Broadcasting with Advice
We study deterministic broadcasting in radio networks in the recently introduced framework of network algorithms with advice. We concentrate on the problem of trade-offs between the number of bits of information (size of advice) available to nodes and the time in which broadcasting can be accomplished. In particular, we ask what is the minimum number of bits of information that must be availabl...

We study the communication primitive of broadcasting (one-to-all communication) in known topology radio networks, i.e., where for each primitive the schedule of transmissions is precomputed based on full knowledge about the size and the topology of the network. We show that radio broadcasting can be completed in D +O(log n) time units in planar graphs of size n, and with diameter D. This improv...
