Outline • Introduction • System model • Fair scheduling and Channel allocation algorithm • Performance evaluation • Conclusion
Introduction • Wireless Mesh Networks (WMSs) • Routing • Scheduling • Channel allocation • Interference • Multiple radios, simultaneously • Limited number of channels available • Signal noise interference rate (SNR)
System model • Network model • Network graphG(V, E) • V: the set of nodes (mesh routers) • E: the set of links • Qe(t): number of packets waiting to be transmitted on link e by the end of time slot; as queue length of e • K orthogonal channels (each node has one or more than one wireless interface cards)
Interference model - physical interference model • packets along link (i, j) are correctly received when • RSSij: signal strength of node j when node i transmits to node j • ISSij: interfered signal strength from another node k also transmitting • N: white noise • Vs: the subset of nodes in V that are transmitting concurrently threshold
Conditions channel 1 channel 1 A B C • G’T = {e1, …, ek} E: certain edge set of transmissions on the same channel • A necessary condition: two links incident on the same node can not be activated simultaneously on the same channel • A sufficient condition: SNIR is above the desired threshold α • COROLLARY 1. • G’T in G(V, E) is feasible if every vertex of the corresponding interference graph G’(V’, E’) satisfies:

Performance evaluation • Comparing with 802.11 CSMA/CA access scheme • Implemented in ns-2 • Transmission range of each node is 150m • Carrier sense range of 300m • Simulations are in the 800x800m2 area which 50 nodes are placed randomly
Conclusion • Proposed fair scheduling and channel allocation algorithms to solve the interference problem • Improved system throughput and guarantees the fairness for all nodes
