Implementation of a Dominance Protocol for Wireless Medium Access

Ref: HURRAY-TR-060802       Publication Date: 16 to 18, Aug, 2006

Abstract:
We propose an efficient algorithm to estimate the number of live computer nodes in a network. This algorithm is fully distributed, and has a time-complexity which is independent of the number of computer nodes. The algorithm is designed to take advantage of a medium access control (MAC) protocol which is prioritized; that is, if two or more messages on different nodes contend for the medium, then the node contending with the highest priority will win, and all nodes will know the priority of the winner.
