Abstract:

Scheduling algorithms have been extensively studied in wireless network design. We first present a comprehensive taxonomy of this research area, then a stability-delay-complexity tradeoff for networks with non-saturated traffic, and finally a utility-optimal random access protocol with no message passing for networks with saturated traffic.
