Abstract
In this paper we consider graph-coloring problems, an important subset
of general constraint satisfaction problems that arise in wireless resource
allocation. We constructively establish the existence of fully decentralized
learning-based algorithms that are able to find a proper coloring
even in the presence of strong sensing restrictions, in particular sensing
asymmetry of the type encountered when hidden terminals are present.
Our main analytic contribution is to establish sufficient conditions on the
sensing behaviour to ensure that the solvers find satisfying assignments
with probability one. These conditions take the form of connectivity requirements
on the induced sensing graph. These requirements are mild,
and we demonstrate that they are commonly satisfied in wireless allocation
tasks. We argue that our results are of considerable practical importance
in view of the prevalence of both communication and sensing restrictions
in wireless resource allocation problems. The class of algorithms analysed
here requires no message-passing whatsoever between wireless devices,
and we show that they continue to perform well even when devices are
only able to carry out constrained sensing of the surrounding radio environment.
