Decomposing broadcast algorithms using abstract MAC layers

M Khabbazian, F Kuhn, DR Kowalski… - Proceedings of the 6th …, 2010 - dl.acm.org
In much of the theoretical literature on wireless algorithms, issues of message dissemination
are considered together with issues of contention management. This combination leads to …

The abstract MAC layer

F Kuhn, N Lynch, C Newport - Distributed Computing, 2011 - Springer
A diversity of possible communication assumptions complicates the study of algorithms and
lower bounds for radio networks. We address this problem by defining an abstract MAC …

[HTML][HTML] Distributed multiple-message broadcast in wireless ad hoc networks under the SINR model

D Yu, QS Hua, Y Wang, H Tan, FCM Lau - Theoretical Computer Science, 2016 - Elsevier
In a multiple-message broadcast, an arbitrary number of messages originate at arbitrary
nodes in the network at arbitrary times. The problem is to disseminate all these messages to …

Multi-message broadcast with abstract mac layers and unreliable links

M Ghaffari, E Kantor, N Lynch, C Newport - Proceedings of the 2014 …, 2014 - dl.acm.org
We study the multi-message broadcast problem using abstract MAC layer models of
wireless networks. These models capture the key guarantees of existing MAC layers while …

Distributed broadcast revisited: Towards universal optimality

M Ghaffari - International Colloquium on Automata, Languages …, 2015 - Springer
This paper revisits the classical problem of multi-message broadcast: given an undirected
network G, the objective is to deliver k messages, initially placed arbitrarily in G, to all nodes …

Efficient distributed multiple-message broadcasting in unstructured wireless networks

D Yu, QS Hua, Y Wang, J Yu… - 2013 Proceedings IEEE …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Multiple-message broadcast is a generalization of the traditional broadcast problem. It is to
disseminate k distinct (1≤ k≤ n) messages stored at k arbitrary nodes to the entire network …

Bounds on contention management in radio networks

M Ghaffari, B Haeupler, N Lynch, C Newport - Distributed Computing: 26th …, 2012 - Springer
The local broadcast problem assumes that processes in a wireless network are provided
messages, one by one, that must be delivered to their neighbors. In this paper, we prove …

On the inherent cost of atomic broadcast and multicast in wide area networks

N Schiper, F Pedone - International Conference on Distributed Computing …, 2008 - Springer
In this paper, we study the atomic broadcast and multicast problems, two fundamental
abstractions for building fault-tolerant systems. As opposed to atomic broadcast, atomic …

A lower bound for broadcasting in mobile ad hoc networks

R Prakash, A Schiper, M Mohsin, D Cavin, Y Sasson - 2004 - infoscience.epfl.ch
We give a lower bound of $\Omega (n) $ rounds for broadcasting in a mobile ad hoc
network, where $ n $ is the number of nodes in the network. A round is the time taken by a …

Time-efficient randomized multiple-message broadcast in radio networks

M Khabbazian, DR Kowalski - Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM …, 2011 - dl.acm.org
Multiple-message broadcast, or k-broadcast, is one of the fundamental problems in network
communication. In short, there are k packets distributed across the network, each of them …
