Abstract

We develop distributed algorithms for the maximum independent link set problem in wireless networks in a distributed computing model based on the physical interference model with SINR constraints -- this is more realistic and more challenging than the traditional graph-based models. Our results give the first distributed algorithm for this problem with polylogarithmic running time with a constant factor approximation guarantee, matching the sequential bound.
