Abstract

The IEEE 802.16 standard proposes two kinds of scheduling algorithms in WiMAX mesh networks, centralized and distributed algorithms. This paper mainly introduces a scheme working in a centralized mode. In this scheme, each node is equipped with a third generation mesh router, which owns two relay transceivers and can be tuned among multiple channels. The major goal of our solution is to reduce the length of scheduling under an interference-aware restriction. The feasibility and efficiency of our proposal are testified through extensive simulations. The result justifies that our algorithm provides a much higher performance than the previous ones.
