Deterministic Local Problems in Radio Networks: On the Impact of Local Domination and a Bit of Advice

Authors: Pawel Garncarek, Tomasz Jurdzinski, Dariusz R. Kowalski, Shay Kutten, and Miguel A. Mosteiro

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 359, 36th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2025)

Abstract
Radio Networks (RN) is one of the fundamental models for network communication where nodes can broadcast messages locally but their simultaneous transmissions can interfere with each other at their shared neighbors. This work focuses on performing the very fundamental primitive of Local Broadcast, in spite of the interferences. We investigate to what extent local knowledge, called advice, relating to the 2-local domination number γ₂ may speed up Local Broadcast. Specifically for each node and some dominating set, knowledge about some neighboring dominating node and the local number among the neighbors of that dominating node. We show that such advice is sufficient to build an efficient oblivious transmission schedule. Along those lines, we present three algorithms trading the level of adaptiveness (from oblivious to adaptive) for bits of advice per node (from O(log (Δγ₂)) to 1). All our algorithms complete Local Broadcast in Õ(Δγ₂²) rounds, where Δ is the maximum degree of the network. On the side of lower bounds, we show that, for each quasi-adaptive deterministic Local Broadcast algorithm, there is some RN that requires Ω(min{(min{Δ,γ₂}/log n)²,n}) communication rounds, where n is the number of network nodes. In quasi-adaptive protocols nodes may stop executing once its computational task is completed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first (nearly) quadratic Local Broadcast (same message for all neighbors) lower bound in the RN model. Our lower bound is stronger than previous works in multiple ways: i) it is nearly quadratically better than the best known general lower bound for this class of algorithms, ii) it applies to a wider class of algorithms than previous work for fully oblivious, iii) it achieves similar time lower bound than previous work proved for a much more demanding Local Broadcast where each node sends a possibly different message to each neighbor, and iv) it takes into account the local domination parameter γ₂.

Beeping Deterministic CONGEST Algorithms in Graphs

Authors: Pawel Garncarek, Dariusz R. Kowalski, Shay Kutten, and Miguel A. Mosteiro

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract
Beeping Network (BN) is a popular graph-based model of wireless computation, which applies the OR operation to one-bit messages sent simultaneously by neighbors. It admits fast (polylogarithmic in the number of nodes n) randomized solutions to many graph problems, but all known deterministic algorithms for non-trivial graph problems are at least polynomial in the maximum node degree Δ. We improve known results for deterministic algorithms by showing that this polynomial can be as low as Õ(Δ²). More precisely, we show how to simulate a single round of any CONGEST algorithm in any network in O(Δ² polylog n) beeping rounds, each accommodating at most one beep per node, even if the nodes intend to send different messages to different neighbors. This upper bound reduces polynomially the time for a deterministic simulation of CONGEST in a Beeping Network, comparing to the best known algorithms, and nearly matches the time obtained recently using randomization (up to a poly-logarithmic factor) as well as the lower bound. Specifically, any algorithm designed for the CONGEST networks can be run in BNs with O(Δ² polylog n) multiplicative overhead, e.g., we can now deterministically compute an MIS in any BN in O(Δ² polylog n) beeping rounds, improving the previous best Θ(Δ³)-round solution. For h-hop simulations, we prove a lower bound Ω(Δ^{h+1}), and we design a nearly matching algorithm that is able to "pipeline" the node-to-node information in a faster way than beeping layer-by-layer.

Agreement Tasks in Fault-Prone Synchronous Networks of Arbitrary Structure

Authors: Pierre Fraigniaud, Minh Hang Nguyen, and Ami Paz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)

Abstract
Consensus is arguably the most studied problem in distributed computing as a whole, and particularly in the distributed message-passing setting. In this latter framework, research on consensus has considered various hypotheses regarding the failure types, the memory constraints, the algorithmic performances (e.g., early stopping and obliviousness), etc. Surprisingly, almost all of this work assumes that messages are passed in a complete network, i.e., each process has a direct link to every other process. A noticeable exception is the recent work of Castañeda et al. (Inf. Comput. 2023) who designed a generic oblivious algorithm for consensus running in radius(G,t) rounds in every graph G, when up to t nodes can crash by irrevocably stopping, where t is smaller than the node-connectivity κ of G. Here, radius(G,t) denotes a graph parameter called the radius of G whenever up to t nodes can crash. For t = 0, this parameter coincides with radius(G), the standard radius of a graph, and, for G = K_n, the running time radius(K_n,t) = t+1 of the algorithm exactly matches the known round-complexity of consensus in the clique K_n. Our main result is a proof that radius(G,t) rounds are necessary for oblivious algorithms solving consensus in G when up to t nodes can crash, thus validating a conjecture of Castañeda et al., and demonstrating that their consensus algorithm is optimal for any graph G. We also extend the result of Castañeda et al. to two different settings: First, to the case where the number t of failures is not necessarily smaller than the connectivity κ of the considered graph; Second, to the k-set agreement problem for which agreement is not restricted to be on a single value as in consensus, but on up to k different values.

Fast Agreement in Networks with Byzantine Nodes

Authors: Bogdan S. Chlebus, Dariusz R. Kowalski, and Jan Olkowski

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 179, 34th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2020)

Abstract
We study Consensus in synchronous networks with arbitrary connected topologies. Nodes may be faulty, in the sense of either Byzantine or proneness to crashing. Let t denote a known upper bound on the number of faulty nodes, and D_s denote a maximum diameter of a network obtained by removing up to s nodes, assuming the network is (s+1)-connected. We give an algorithm for Consensus running in time t + D_{2t} with nodes subject to Byzantine faults. We show that, for any algorithm solving Consensus for Byzantine nodes, there is a network G and an execution of the algorithm on this network that takes Ω(t + D_{2t}) rounds. We give an algorithm solving Consensus in t + D_{t} communication rounds with Byzantine nodes using authenticated messages of polynomial size. We show that for any numbers t and d > 4, there exists a network G and an algorithm solving Consensus with Byzantine nodes using authenticated messages in fewer than t + 3 rounds on G, but all algorithms solving Consensus without message authentication require at least t + d rounds on G. This separates Consensus with Byzantine nodes from Consensus with Byzantine nodes using message authentication, with respect to asymptotic time performance in networks of arbitrary connected topologies, which is unlike complete networks. Let f denote the number of failures actually occurring in an execution and unknown to the nodes. We develop an algorithm solving Consensus against crash failures and running in time 𝒪(f + D_{f}), assuming only that nodes know their names and can differentiate among ports; this algorithm is also communication-efficient, by using messages of size 𝒪(mlog n), where n is the number of nodes and m is the number of edges. We give a lower bound t+D_t-2 on the running time of any deterministic solution to Consensus in (t+1)-connected networks, if t nodes may crash.

Anonymous Processors with Synchronous Shared Memory: Monte Carlo Algorithms

Authors: Bogdan S. Chlebus, Gianluca De Marco, and Muhammed Talo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 95, 21st International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2017)

Abstract
We consider synchronous distributed systems in which processors communicate by shared read- write variables. Processors are anonymous and do not know their number n. The goal is to assign individual names by all the processors to themselves. We develop algorithms that accomplish this for each of the four cases determined by the following independent properties of the model: concurrently attempting to write distinct values into the same shared memory register either is allowed or not, and the number of shared variables either is a constant or it is unbounded. For each such a case, we give a Monte Carlo algorithm that runs in the optimum expected time and uses the expected number of O(n log n) random bits. All our algorithms produce correct output upon termination with probabilities that are 1−n^{−Ω(1)}, which is best possible when terminating almost surely and using O(n log n) random bits.
