Tight Bounds for Deterministic h-Shot Broadcast in Ad-Hoc Directed Radio Networks

Authors: Aris Pagourtzis and Tomasz Radzik

Abstract

We consider the classical broadcast problem in ad-hoc (that is, unknown topology) directed radio networks with no collision detection, under the additional assumption that at most h transmissions (shots) are available per node. We focus on adaptive deterministic protocols for small values of h. We provide asymptotically matching lower and upper bounds for the cases h=2 and h=3. While for h=2 our bound is quadratic, similar to the bound obtained for oblivious protocols, for h=3 we prove a sub-quadratic bound of Theta(n^2 log log n / log n), where n is the number of nodes in the network. The latter is the first result showing an adaptive algorithm which is asymptotically faster than oblivious h-shot broadcast protocols, for which a tight quadratic bound is known for every constant h. Our upper bound for h=3 is constructive, making use of constructions of graphs with large girth. We also show an improved upper bound of O(n^(1+alpha/sqrt{h})) for h >= 4, where alpha is an absolute constant independent of h. Our upper bound for h >= 4 is non-constructive.

Periodic Metro Scheduling

Authors: Evangelos Bampas, Georgia Kaouri, Michael Lampis, and Aris Pagourtzis

Abstract

We introduce the { extsc{Periodic Metro Sched-ul-ing}} ({ extsc{PMS}}) problem, which aims in generating a periodic timetable for a given set of routes and a given time period, in such a way that the minimum time distance between any two successive trains that pass from the same point of the network is maximized. This can be particularly useful in cases where trains use the same rail segment quite often, as happens in metropolitan rail networks. We present exact algorithms for ({ extsc{PMS}}) in chain and spider networks, and constant ratio approximation algorithms for ring networks and for a special class of tree networks. Some of our algorithms are based on a reduction to the { extsc{Path Coloring}} problem, while others rely on techniques specially designed for the new problem.
