Sense of Direction and Communication Complexity in Distributed Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The connection between sense of direction and communication complexity in distributed complete networks is studied for two basic problems: finding a minimum-weight spanning tree (MST) and finding a spanning tree (SP). Several models of the complete network are defined, the difference being the amount (and type) of sense of direction available, forming a hierarchy which includes the models previously studied in the literature. It is shown that to move up in the hierarchy might require Ω(n2) messages in the worst case. It is shown that the existing O(n) bound for SP can still be achieved at a lower level in the hierarchy; and that the Ω(n2) bound for MST still holds at a higher level in the hierarchy.

Computing on Anonymous Networks with Sense of Direction
Sense of direction refers to a set of global consistency constraints of the local labeling of the edges of a network. Sense of direction has a large impact on the communication complexity of many distributed problems. In this paper, we study the impact that sense of direction has on computability and we focus on anonymous networks. We establish several results. In particular, we prove that with...
متن کاملLevels of Sense of Direction in Distributed Systems
Sense of Direction refers to a set of consistency properties of distributed systems. The presence of such properties is known to have an impact on the communication complexity of several distributed problems. In this paper we consider levels of sense of direction (weak, standard, and symmetric). We study these levels of sense of direction with respect to a set of consistency properties (associa...
متن کاملDistributed and Cooperative Compressive Sensing Recovery Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks with Bi-directional Incremental Topology
Recently, the problem of compressive sensing (CS) has attracted lots of attention in the area of signal processing. So, much of the research in this field is being carried out in this issue. One of the applications where CS could be used is wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The structure of WSNs consists of many low power wireless sensors. This requires that any improved algorithm for this appli...
متن کاملSense of direction: Definitions, properties, and classes
An extensive body of evidence exists of the impact that specific edge labelings have on the communication complexity of distributed problems. It has been long suspected that these very different labelings share a common property, named sense of direction. In spite of the large number of investigations, and of the obvious practical importance, a formal characterization of this property did not e...

Merging the adaptive networks with the free space optical (FSO) communication technology is a very interesting field of research because by adding the benefits of this technology, the adaptive networks become more efficient, cheap and secure. This is due to the fact that FSO communication uses unregistered visible light bandwidth instead of the overused radio spectrum. However, in spite of all ...
