Scheduling flows to make the most of WMN resources with guaranteed performance

Tu, Wanqing

Abstract

In the wireless world, we have limited transmission medium resources and bandwidth as compared to wired networks. Multi-hop mesh topologies can quickly use up channels and available bandwidth. This has led to various studies and technological developments into the efficient use of wireless resources.

Scheduling is an active line of study to enhance wireless resource use. Popular scheduling schemes focus on using various transmission rates to achieve the best balance between achievable performance and coverage, hopping between different channels to avoid interference or channel overloading, and regulating multiple flows to pass through a channel without suffering from performance degradation.

We, at the University of Auckland, investigated the transmission opportunity additionally achieved by scheduling flows when a wireless mesh network (WMN) is regarded as ‘saturated’ by traditional schemes.
