    Abstract

    We show new lower bounds for collision-free transmissions in Radio Networks. Our main result is a tight lower bound of Ω(log n log(1/ε)) on the time required by a uniform randomized protocol to achieve a clear transmission with success probability 1 - ε in a one-hop setting. This result is extended to non-uniform protocols as well. A new lower bound is proved for the important multi-hop setting of nodes distributed as a connected Random Geometric Graph. Our main result is tight for a variety of problems.
