Abstract | A radio network is a synchronous network of processors that communicate by transmitting messages to their neighbors. A processor receives a message in a given step if and only if it is silent then and precisely one of its neighbors transmits. This stringent rule poses serious difficulties in performing even the simplest tasks. This is true even under the overly optimistic assumptions of centralized coordination and complete knowledge of the network topology. This paper is concerned with lower and upper bounds for the complexity of realizing various communication primitives for radio networks.Our first result deals with the broadcast operation. We prove the existence of a family of radius-2 networks on n vertices for which any broadcast schedule requires at least &OHgr;(log2 n) rounds of transmissions. This matches an upper bound of O(log2 n) rounds for networks of radius 2 proved earlier by Bar-Yehuda, Goldreich and Itai [BGI]. It is worth mentioning that this lower bound holds even under optimal centralized coordination, while the (randomized) algorithm of [BGI] is distributed.We then look at the question of simulating two of the standard message-passing models on a radio network. Both models can easily simulate the radio model with no overhead. In the other direction, we propose and study a primitive called the single-round simulation (SRS), enabling the simulation of a single round of an algorithm designed for the standard message models. We give lower bounds for the length of SRS schedules for both models, and supply constructions or existence proofs for schedules of matching (or almost matching) lengths.Finally we give tight bounds for the length of schedules for computing census functions on a radio network. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
