Query: Distributed Voting in Beep Model   We consider the problem of distributed multi-choice voting in a setting that
each node can communicate with its neighbors merely by sending beep signals.
Given its simplicity, the beep communication model is of practical importance
in different applications such as system biology and wireless sensor networks.
Yet, the distributed majority voting has not been resolved in this setting. In
this paper, we propose two algorithms, named Distributed Voting with Beeps, to
resolve this problem. In the first proposed algorithm, the adjacent nodes
having the same value form a set called spot. Afterwards, the spots with
majority value try to corrode the spots with non-majority values. The second
proposed algorithm is based on pairwise interactions between nodes. The
proposed algorithms have a termination detection procedure to check whether
voting is achieved. We establish theoretical guarantees for the convergence of
these algorithms. In particular, we show that the success probability of the
first algorithm tends to one as the percentage of the initial votes in majority
increases. For the second algorithm, we show that it returns the correct output
with high probability. Our experiments show that the algorithms are fairly
invariant to the network topology, initial distribution of values, and network
size.
