We consider the problem of assigning short labels to the vertices and edges of a graph $G$ so that given any query $\langle s,t,F\rangle$ with $|F|\leq f$, we can determine whether $s$ and $t$ are still connected in $G-F$, given only the…
We prove three new lower bounds for graph connectivity in the $1$-bit broadcast congested clique model, BCC$(1)$. First, in the KT-$0$ version of BCC$(1)$, in which nodes are aware of neighbors only through port numbers, we show an…
The congested clique is a synchronous, message-passing model of distributed computing in which each computational unit (node) in each round can send message of O(log n) bits to each other node of the network, where n is the number of nodes.…
This paper studies the problem of broadcasting in synchronous point-to-point networks, where one initiator owns a piece of information that has to be transmitted to all other vertices as fast as possible. The model of fractional dynamic…
A distance labeling scheme labels the $n$ nodes of a graph with binary strings such that, given the labels of any two nodes, one can determine the distance in the graph between the two nodes by looking only at the labels. A $D$-preserving…
We use network coding to improve the speed of distributed computation in the dynamic network model of Kuhn, Lynch and Oshman [STOC '10]. In this model an adversary adaptively chooses a new network topology in every round, making even basic…
In this work, we study the fundamental naming and counting problems (and some variations) in networks that are anonymous, unknown, and possibly dynamic. In counting, nodes must determine the size of the network n and in naming they must end…
Consider the Telephone Broadcast problem in which an input is a connected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, a source vertex $s \in V(G)$, and a positive integer $t$. The objective is to decide whether there is a broadcast protocol from $s$ that…
In this paper, we derive the capacity of the deterministic relay networks with relay messages. We consider a network which consists of five nodes, four of which can only communicate via the fifth one. However, the fifth node is not merely a…
We address the problem of minimizing power consumption when performing reliable broadcast on a radio network under the following popular model. Each node in the network is located on a point in a two dimensional grid, and whenever a node…
We present an achievable rate for general deterministic relay networks, with broadcasting at the transmitters and interference at the receivers. In particular we show that if the optimizing distribution for the information-theoretic cut-set…
The broadcasting problem concerns the efficient dissemination of information in graphs. In classical broadcasting, a single originator vertex initially has a message to be transmitted to all vertices. Every vertex which has received the…
This paper concerns {\em randomized} leader election in synchronous distributed networks. A distributed leader election algorithm is presented for complete $n$-node networks that runs in O(1) rounds and (with high probability) uses only…
In a wireless network with a single source and a single destination and an arbitrary number of relay nodes, what is the maximum rate of information flow achievable? We make progress on this long standing problem through a two-step approach.…
An $(\alpha,\beta)$-ruling set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a set $R\subseteq V$ such that for any node $v\in V$ there is a node $u\in R$ in distance at most $\beta$ from $v$ and such that any two nodes in $R$ are at distance at least $\alpha$…
We analyze deterministic message identification via channels with non-discrete additive white noise and with a noiseless feedback link under both average power and peak power constraints. The identification task is part of Post Shannon…
We investigate the use of network coding for information dissemination over a wireless network. Using network coding allows for a simple, distributed and robust algorithm where nodes do not need any information from their neighbors. In this…
This paper studies broadcasting and gossiping algorithms in random and general AdHoc networks. Our goal is not only to minimise the broadcasting and gossiping time, but also to minimise the energy consumption, which is measured in terms of…
We study a generalization of the well-known model of broadcasting on trees. Consider a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with a unique source vertex $X$, and suppose all other vertices have indegree $d\geq 2$. Let the vertices at distance $k$…
Deterministic identification (DI) is addressed for Gaussian channels with fast and slow fading, where channel side information is available at the decoder. In particular, it is established that the number of messages scales as…
