Abstract:
Throughput-maximizing scheduling algorithms have been well-studied for wireless networks under the assumption that the number of flows in the network is fixed. In this talk, we will consider the impact of flow-level dynamics on the throughput and delay performance of wireless networks. First, we will describe traditional scheduling algorithms and identify the reasons for their poor performance in the presence of flow-level dynamics. Then, we will present new scheduling algorithms which significantly improve upon the throughput and/or delay performance of the traditional algorithms.
