Maximal independent set (MIS) is a very important structure that provides data aggregation, topology control and routing for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Energy-efficient and fault-tolerant construction of MIS on WSNs is one of the vital tasks. A distributed sensor network is self-stabilizing if it can initially start at any state and regain a legal state in a finite time without any external intervention. Self-stabilization is a considerable method to provide fault tolerance in WSNs. This paper presents a distributed self-stabilizing MIS algorithm which is an improved version of Turau's algorithm under a fully distributed scheduler for WSNs. The proposed algorithm is theoretically analyzed and evaluated with its counterparts. The proposed algorithm is compared with the other studies through testbed experiments on IRIS nodes and simulations on TOSSIM environment. It is shown that the proposed algorithm outperforms other algorithms in terms of move count and energy consumption.

Nowadays, the main focus of emergency communication research is directed to the use of cognitive radio ad-hoc networks for disaster scenarios. This study addresses an efficient cooperative game-theoretic channel access scheme for data offloading and cooperation of emergency user using cooperative cognitive ad-hoc controllers in order to reduce the blocking probability of the newly incoming emergency user. The main objective is to connect all the users who are in need of urgent spectrum and it is considered that their data size is too large. Also, a hybrid overlay-underlay approach was undertaken which provides higher spectrum flexibility. A distributed algorithm is proposed which comprises a criterion assignment, merge and split algorithm and an auction mechanism to provide incentives to those controllers who participate in cooperation. An aggregate throughput of 18% is obtained as an improvement when compared with other conventional heuristics algorithm.

This paper focuses on a distributed convex optimization problem with set constraints, where the local objective functions are convex but not necessarily differentiable. We employ an exact penalty method for the constrained optimization problem to avoid the projection of subgradients to convex sets, which may result in problems about algorithm trajectories caused by maybe nonconvex differential inclusions and quite high computational cost. To effectively find a suitable gain of the penalty function online, we propose an adaptive distributed algorithm with the help of the adaptive control idea in order to achieve an exact solution without any a priori computation or knowledge of the objective functions. By virtue of convex and nonsmooth analysis, we give a rigorous proof for the convergence of the proposed continuous-time algorithm.

In its simplest form the well known consensus problem for a networked family of autonomous agents is to devise a set of protocols or update rules, one for each agent, which can enable all of the agents to adjust or tune their "agreement variable" to the same value by utilizing real-time information obtained from their "neighbors" within the network. The aim of this paper is to study the problem of achieving a consensus in the face of limited information transfer between agents. By this it is meant that instead of each agent receiving an agreement variable or real-valued state vector from each of its neighbors, it receives a linear function of each state instead. The specific problem of interest is formulated and provably correct algorithms are developed for a number of special cases of the problem.

The increased penetration of intermittent distributed generation in distribution grids causes occasional voltage variations. The ICT infrastructure can provide the appropriate means for novel techniques to handle this kind of problems. The proposed algorithm utilizes a power flow model of the distribution grid and integrates the detection and the solution of the voltage constraint violation into a distributed double layered framework. The optimal solution of the related resource allocation problem involves the control of flexible microgenerators and loads, which can assist the grid by providing ancillary services for voltage control. The method is based on a gradient descent and a consensus algorithm for the distributed calculation of the Lagrangian multipliers. The proposed algorithm is tested in different scenarios in order to demonstrate its effectiveness.

In this work, we present a fully distributed Learning algorithm for power allocation in HetNets, referred to as the FLAPH, that reaches the global optimum given by the total social welfare. Using a mix of macro and femto base stations, we discuss opportunities to maximize users global throughput. We prove the convergence of the algorithm and compare its performance with the well-established Gibbs and Max-logit algorithms which ensure convergence to the global optimum. algorithms are compared in terms of computational complexity, memory space, and time convergence.

Analyzing massive complex networks yields promising insights about our everyday lives. Building scalable algorithms to do so is a challenging task that requires a careful analysis and an extensive evaluation. However, engineering such algorithms is often hindered by the scarcity of publicly available datasets. Network generators serve as a tool to alleviate this problem by providing synthetic instances with controllable parameters. However, many network generators fail to provide instances on a massive scale due to their sequential nature or resource constraints. Additionally, truly scalable network generators are few and often limited in their realism. In this work, we present novel generators for a variety of network models that are frequently used as benchmarks. By making use of pseudorandomization and divide-and-conquer schemes, our generators follow a communication-free paradigm. The resulting generators are thus embarrassingly parallel and have a near optimal scaling behavior. This allows us to generate instances of up to 243 vertices and 247 edges in less than 22 min on 32 768 cores. Therefore, our generators allow new graph families to be used on an unprecedented scale.

A discrete-time distributed algorithm to solve a system of linear equations Ax = b is proposed with M-Fejer mappings. The algorithm can find a solution of Ax = b from arbitrary initializations at a geometric rate when Ax = b has either unique or multiple solutions. When Ax = b has a unique solution, the geometric convergence rate of the algorithm is proved by analyzing the mixed norm of homogeneous M-Fejer mappings. Then, when Ax = b has multiple solutions, the geometric convergence rate is proved through orthogonal decompositions of the agents' estimates onto the row space and null space of A, and the relationship between the initializations and the final convergence point is also specified. Quantitative upper bounds of the convergence rates for two special cases are given. Finally, some simulation examples are adopted to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The underutilized millimeter-wave (mm-wave) band is a promising candidate to enable extremely high data rate communications in future wireless networks. However, the special characteristics of the mm-wave systems such as high vulnerability to obstacles (due to high penetration loss) and to mobility (due to directional communications) demand a careful design of the association between the clients and access points (APs). This challenge can be addressed by distributed association techniques that gracefully adapt to wireless channel variations and client mobilities. We formulated the association problem as a mixed-integer optimization aiming to maximize the network throughput with proportional fairness guarantees. This optimization problem is solved first by a distributed dual decomposition algorithm, and then by a novel distributed auction algorithm where the clients act asynchronously to achieve near-to-optimal association between the clients and APs. The latter algorithm has a faster convergence with a negligible drop in the resulting network throughput. A distinguishing novel feature of the proposed algorithms is that the resulting optimal association does not have to be re-computed every time the network changes (e.g., due to mobility). Instead, the algorithms continuously adapt to the network variations and are thus very efficient. We discuss the implementation of the proposed algorithms on top of existing communication standards. The numerical analysis verifies the ability of the proposed algorithms to optimize the association and to maintain optimality in the time-variant environments of the mm-wave networks.

The process of enhancing the ability of a complex network against various malicious attacks through link addition/rewiring has been the subject of extensive interest and research. The performance of existing methods often highly depends on full knowledge about the network topology. In this study, the authors devote ourselves to developing new distributed strategies to perform link manipulation sequentially using only local accessible topology information. This strategy is concerned with a matrix-perturbation-based approximation of the network-based optimisation problems and a distributed algorithm to compute eigenvectors and eigenvalues of graph matrices. In addition, the development of a distributed stopping criterion, which provides the desired accuracy on the distributed estimation algorithm, enables us to solve the link-operation problem in a finite-time manner. Finally, all results are illustrated and validated using numerical demonstrations and examples.
