Abstract

This paper has two parts. In the first part we give an alternative (and much simpler) proof for the best known lower bound of 驴(Dlog (N/D)) time-steps for randomized broadcasting in radio networks with unknown topology. In the second part we give an O(N log3N)- time randomized algorithm for gossiping in such radio networks. This is an improvement over the fastest previously known algorithm that works in time O(N log4 N).
