On Size Hiding Protocols in Beeping Model

Dominik Bojko, Marek Klonowski, Mateusz Marciniak, Piotr Syga

Abstract: Execution of a protocol in a wireless sensor network may reveal some information about its size. For example, the time required to elect a leader or establish size approximation using the most popular protocols is strongly correlated with the number of participating stations. This property may be very undesirable in many natural scenarios, like e.g., the military area of applications.
