Abstract

The problem of establishing and completing a given set ofcalls as early as possible is studied for bidirectional and directed calls in various classes of networks. Even under theassumption of unit bandwidth requirements and unit calldurations, call scheduling is NP-hard for trees with unboundeddegree, for rings, and for meshes. Whereas bidirectionalcalls can be scheduled optimally in polynomial time for trees of constant degree, the problem for directed calls is already NP-hard for binary trees. Approximation algorithms with constant performance ratio are known for many NP-hard variants of call scheduling.
