Abstract:

The scheduling algorithm based on the three-way handshaking scheme in IEEE 802.16d-2004 standard has some serious problems because of the complexity of the algorithm and low scheduling efficiency. To enhance the scheduling efficiency and improve the performance of multi-hop wireless mesh networks (WMNs), one distributed scheduling algorithm that can maximize the spatial and time reuse with an interference-based network model is proposed. Compared to the graph-based network model, the proposed network model can achieve a better throughput performance with maximal spatial reuse. Furthermore, this proposed scheduling algorithm also keeps fairly scheduling to all links, with a priority-based polling policy. Both the theoretical analysis and simulation results show that this proposed distributed scheduling algorithm is simple and efficient.
