In this paper, we present a deterministic distributed algorithm that computes the maximal 2-packing set in a geometric outerplanar graph. In a geometric outerplanar graph, all the vertices have location coordinates in the plane and lie on the boundary of the graph. Our algorithm consists of three phases. First, it elects a vertex as the leader. Second, it explores the graph to determine relevant information about the structure of the input graph. Third, with this information, it computes a maximal 2-packing set. When the input graph is a ring, the algorithm computes a maximum 2-packing set. The execution time of this algorithm is O(n) steps and it uses O(n log n) messages. This algorithm does not require knowledge of the size of the input graph. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first deterministic distributed algorithm that solves such a problem for a geometric outerplanar graph in a linear number of steps. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.

An alternative approach is presented for centralised algorithms that design optimal sequences and powers under quality of service constraints in the uplink of a code division multiple access systems. The authors propose a distributed algorithm, where each user designs its optimal codeword in such a way to transmit minimum power, based on certain feedback information sent from the base station. The authors define the user cost function, which is the user power written as a convex function of user codewords for a defined signal-to-interference plus noise ratio target. For the constrained optimisation problem, optimal codewords are designed based on feasible direction method and the optimal user powers are the minimum values of the user cost functions. For the optimal configuration, the matched filter employed at receiver will have the same performance as the minimum mean squared error filter. Even if the optimal user powers are unique, the optimal codewords do not correspond to a unique allocation, but rather to an entire class of codewords that can be related by unitary transformations. The algorithm works properly in the presence of multiple access interference with white or coloured additive noise and requires no ordering. The proposed algorithm is analysed and illustrated with numerical examples obtained from simulations.

Many distributed algorithms that control computations are based on logical clocks. Each process has a logical clock that behaves as a counter. The counter is initialized to zero and then increases each time an event is produced by the process. This value is then used to stamp the event. Along with the distinct process name, this stamp uniquely identifies the event. Since the logical speeds of the processes are independent, a logical clock may drift with respect to the other clocks. Two control methods exist to correct the values of logical clocks: 1. the a posteriori method, in which the drift is detected and then corrected, and 2. the a priori one, in which the drift is prevented. An a priori technique for correcting logical clocks is examined, and the algorithm used in this technique is studied in several environments.

This work investigates a finite time horizon resource allocation problem under a strongly connected multi-agent network. In this network, each agent at each time is associated with a resource variable and a quadratic cost function. The objective is to minimise the total cost of all agents over the finite time horizon in a distributed manner, while enforcing a total amount of resources per time unit and per agent. The major challenge of this problem lies in the coupled equality constraints across the agents and time periods, which should be satisfied simultaneously in the end. In addition, the local information structure imposed by the digraph within the time horizon should be taken into account when solving the problem. This study develops a consensus-based multipliers decomposition method to solve the problem. The authors show that the convergence and optimality can be ensured provided that the digraph within the time horizon is strongly connected. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Smart grid, regarded as the next generation of power grid, uses two-way flows of electricity and information to create a widely distributed automated energy delivery network. One distinguishing aspect of smart grid communication networks is the large-scale deployment of smart meters and sensors. Thus, a large amount of data and information will be generated from metering, sensing, monitoring, etc. Data aggregation (integration or fusion) aims at the merging of data from disparate sources with differing conceptual, contextual, and typographical representations. In order to satisfy the requirement of different information services, the placement of data aggregation services in smart grid communication networks is a critical design issue. In this paper, we propose a minimum-cost-forwarding-based asynchronous distributed algorithm to find the optimal placement for the data aggregation service tree with optimal cost of in-network processing. It is shown that minimum-cost forwarding can dramatically reduce message overheads of the asynchronous algorithm. It is also shown that our algorithm has less message overheads than the synchronous algorithm (Sync) by both mathematical analysis and simulation-based evaluation. For a regular grid network and a complete binary service tree, the messages sent at each node are O(root NM) for our proposed algorithm and O(root NM log(2)M) for the Sync, where N is the number of network nodes and M is the number of data objects in the service tree.

We consider the spectrum access in an unlicensed spectrum (i.e., no incumbent users) for infrastructure-less networks where the number of users are unknown and they cannot coordinate with others due to lack of a control channel or a central controller. Also, users do not have spectrum sensing capability due to size and power constraints in battery operated radios. Such a setup is being studied for Internet of Things applications to enable sensors to communicate sensed data without the need of dedicated spectrum and network infrastructure. Using multi-user multi-armed bandit-based learning framework, we propose a new distributed algorithm which achieves a lower regret (i.e., throughput loss) than existing algorithms while keeping the number of collisions low. Fewer collisions save power which would have been otherwise wasted due to re-transmissions. High confidence bounds on the regret and number of collisions along with simulation results validate the effectiveness of our algorithm.

A real time fully distributed algorithm that would allow base stations (BSs) in cellular networks to autonomously and cooperatively find the wireless coverage pattern to optimize network performance is described. An antenna system that can change the radio frequency (RF) coverage is assumed at each base station. Simulations based on Mobile WiMAX technology show the effectiveness and robustness of the approach.

This paper presents a distributed algorithm for performance improvement through file replication, file migration, and process migration. This algorithm considers the number of read and write accesses to files for every process type, the number of processes and their demands on system resources, the utilization of bottlenecks on all machines, and file sizes. Performance improvement is discussed and proven by using the algorithm. A number of experiments executed in a distributed system are discussed to predict performance impacts of various algorithm strategies. These experiments show changes of system performance due to file and process placement, file replication, and file and process migration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Geographic Opportunistic Routing (GOR) tries to avariciously send a message from source node to the closest neighboring node that's the highest priority toward the packet's destination at road Intersection in VANETs. Geographic Opportunistic Routing (GOR) may well be an advanced and efficient routing technique that was associated decent, economical and heightens routing scheme for VANETs. Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) is a special type of wireless networks. In VANETs, the foremost challenge is that the extraordinarily dynamic property of mobile nodes (i.e., high mobility), therefore the extraordinarily dynamic topology suggests that topology changes over times. In this paper, we have a tendency to propose a new distributed geographical opportunistic routing protocol for vehicular ad-hoc situations referred to as distributed Geographical Opportunistic Routing (DGOR) protocol. To handle the node mobility, direction, and speed, we've got propose a new replacement metric that considers the geographical location of the vehicles, the amount of the neighboring nodes at road Intersection, and therefore the expected position of nodes victimization the motion vector of the vehicular nodes at road Intersection. We have introduced DGOR problem in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks at road Intersection and this problem is NP-complete. A O(nlogn) approximation algorithm is designed to solve the DGOR problem for Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks at road Intersection.
