Abstract

We consider anonymous complete networks whose links and nodes are subject to random independent failures with fixed probabilities p<1 and q<1, respectively. A single fault-free node has to wake up all fault-free nodes by propagating a wakeup message through the network. In a unit of time each node can communicate with at most one other node. Communications with a faulty node or via a faulty link do not succeed. For any ε>0 we present a wakeup algorithm for n-node networks, running in expected time O(log n), using an expected number of O(n log n) message bits and working correctly with probability exceeding 1-n, for sufficiently large n. It is proved that these orders of magnitude are optimal.
