The next generation of wireless networks (e.g.,) will use multiple techniques to improve channel spectral efficiencies. In this paper we focus on one such technique, beamforming, in the downlink channel. In each sector a number of fixed beams are used to serve users. For each frame the scheduler chooses a beam and then schedules one or more mobiles that lie within that beam. Since the basestation's...
In order to support real-time and bandwidth demanding applications, the IEEE 802.16 standard is expected to provide quality of service (QoS). Although the standard defines a QoS signaling framework and five service levels, scheduling mechanisms for this network are unspecified. In this paper, we propose a scheduling scheme for the uplink traffic which is fully standard-compliant and can be easily...
This paper considers the problem of subcarrier scheduling in the downlink of multicell OFDMA networks. It proposes a dynamic fractional frequency reuse cell architecture that partitions subcarriers into two groups. One is reused in the whole cell area whereas the other is partitioned into sectors and used orthogonally. The proposed architecture allows dynamic allocation of users to the group of subcarriers...
In IEEE 802.16e system, most of existing scheduling algorithms focus on the real time services, while few of them have particularly considered the best-effort (BE) service. Since the BE service class is defined for non-realtime traffic with the lowest priority among all 802.16e scheduling services, it corresponds to applications with no specific rate or delay requirement. However, considering the...
In this paper, we address the routing and call scheduling problem in which one has to find a minimum-length schedule of selected links in a TDMA (time division multiple access) based wireless network. As we deal with multi-hop networks, these selected links represent a routing solution (paths) providing enough capacity to achieve the routers requirements of bandwidth. We present a cross-layer formulation...
Consider network coded multicast traffic over a wireless network in the bandwidth limited regime. We formulate the joint medium access and subgraph optimization problem by means of a graphical conflict model. The nature of network coded flows is not captured by classical link-based scheduling and therefore requires a novel approach based on conflicting hyperarcs. By means of simulations, we evaluate...
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have been drawing significant attention due to their support for low cost broadband wireless Internet access. Despite extensive deployments in recent years, the 802.11 based wireless mesh networks suffer from unfairness attributed to the lack of adequate support for multihop communications. Most existing solutions focus on hard fairness by investigating fairness without...
We explore radio resource allocation in wireless mesh networks, namely we study how to determine a space- and time-division pattern of transmissions, to deliver traffic to gateway nodes. We highlight link scheduling and routing issues, which we investigate in a cross-layer framework. To this end, an integer linear program is presented, where diverse constraints affect resource allocation; in particular,...
The simultaneous transmission of data messages to a group of neighbors forms the basis for many essential services in wireless ad hoc and mesh networks, for example to communicate link status information or to assist route discovery. Despite the fact that communication on a wireless medium is inherently of broadcast nature, there exist situations, where data broadcasting is non-trivial. In particular,...
