| Abstract | We consider in-network computation of MAX in a structure-free random multihop wireless network. Nodes do not know their relative or absolute locations and use the Aloha MAC protocol. For one-shot computation, we describe a protocol in which the MAX value becomes available at the origin in O(root n-/logn) slots with high probability. This is within a constant factor of that required by the best coordinated protocol. A minimal structure (knowledge of hop-distance from the sink) is imposed on the network and with this structure, we describe a protocol for pipelined computation of MAX that achieves a rate of Omega(1/(log(2) n)). |
