Abstract

We consider schemes for reuse-efficient packet access in wireless data networks. We show that computing the maximum ergodic packet arrival rate is NP-hard. We give an upper bound on the maximum ergodic throughput in terms of the eigenvalues of matrices related to the path-gain matrix. We present simple, practical heuristic algorithms which exhibit good throughput and packet delay and report on results of preliminary simulations. More sophisticated algorithms that yield optimal throughput are also presented. A recent result of McKeown, Anantharam and Walrand on scheduling of input-queued switches is obtained as a byproduct.
