Leader election in ad hoc radio networks: A keen ear helps

作者:

Highlights:

• Radio network modeled as an undirected graph, nodes do not know topology.

• Collision detection: capability of distinguishing collision from silence.

• Collision detection speeds up deterministic leader election.

• Deterministic leader election with collision detection in linear time.

• Without collision detection super-linear lower bound.
