	abstract = {We study the problem of throughput maximization in multi-hop wireless networks with end-to-end delay constraints for each session. This problem has received much attention starting with the work of Grossglauser and Tse (2002), and it has been shown that there is a significant tradeoff between the end-to-end delays and the total achievable rate. We develop algorithms to compute such tradeoffs with provable performance guarantees for arbitrary instances, with general interference models. Given a target delay-bound Δ(c) for each session c, our algorithm gives a stable flow vector with a total throughput within a factor of O (logΔm/log log Δm) of the maximum, so that the per-session (end-to-end) delay is O ((logΔm/log log Δm Δ(c))2), where Δm = maxc{Δ(c)}; note that these bounds depend only on the delays, and not on the network size, and this is the first such result, to our knowledge.},

Even with good initial job assignments, dynamic scheduling is still needed to adapt to dynamic environments, as well as for applications whose running times are not known a priori. In this paper, we propose new decentralized scheduling schemes that backfill jobs locally and dynamically migrate waiting jobs across nodes to leverage residual resources, while guaranteeing bounded waiting times for all jobs. The methods attempt to maximize total throughput while balancing load across available grid resources. Experimental results via simulation show that our scheduling scheme has performance competitive with an online centralized scheduler.},

	abstract = {Equipping wireless nodes with multiple radios can significantly increase the capacity of wireless networks, by making these radios simultaneously transmit over multiple non-overlapping channels. However, due to the limited number of radios and available orthogonal channels, designing efficient channel assignment and scheduling algorithms in such networks is a major challenge. In this paper, we present provably-good distributed algorithms for simultaneous channel allocation of individual links and packet-scheduling, in software-defined radio (SDR) wireless networks. Our distributed algorithms are very simple to implement, and do not require any coordination even among neighboring nodes. A novel access hash function or random oracle methodology is one of the key drivers of our results. With this access hash function, each radio can know the transmitters{\textquoteright} decisions for links in its interference set for each time slot without introducing any extra communication overhead between them. Further, by utilizing the inductive-scheduling technique, each radio can also backoff appropriately to avoid collisions. Extensive simulations demonstrate that our bounds are valid in practice.},

Most of the research in this direction has focused on either random distributions of points, or has assumed simple graph-based models for wireless interference. In this paper, we study capacity estimation problem using the more general Signal to Interference Plus Noise Ratio (SINR) model for interference, on arbitrary wireless networks. The problem becomes much harder in this setting, because of the non-locality of the SINR model. Recent work by Moscibroda et al.

The central question we answer is: how should we set the channel-access probability for each link in the network so that the network operates close to its optimal throughput capacity? We design simple and distributed channel-access strategies for random-access networks which are provably competitive with respect to the optimal scheduling strategy, which is deterministic, centralized, and computationally infeasible. We show that the competitiveness of our strategies are nearly the best achievable via random-access scheduling, thus establishing fundamental limits on the performance of random- access. A notable outcome of our work is that random access compares well with deterministic scheduling when link transmission durations differ by small factors, and much worse otherwise. The distinguishing aspects of our work include modeling and rigorous analysis of asynchronous communication, asymmetry in link transmission durations, and hidden terminals under arbitrary link-conflict based wireless interference models.},

However, we also show that when communication latencies are nonnegligible, finding an optimal transaction order given a static schedule is an NP-complete problem, and that this intractability holds both under iterative and noniterative execution. We develop new heuristics for finding efficient transaction orders, and perform an extensive experimental comparison to gauge the performance of these heuristics.},

In this paper, we introduce a transmission power control based on stochastic learning automata (SLA) to modify the transmission power. Based on the level of successful transmissions and the level of packet retransmissions, the SLA will modify the transmission power level either by increasing it or decreasing it. The probabilistic nature of SLA makes it a useful choice for ad-hoc networks. Using the network simulator NS, we show that using SLA for transmission power will result in an increased system bandwidth and a decrease in the collision levels.},

However, the current design does not anticipate the multi-rate capability offered by the IEEE 802.11a/b/g physical layer, thus suffering significant performance degradation in 802.11 WLANs. In this paper, we propose multirate wireless fair scheduling (WMFS). In MWFS, each flow is granted a temporal fair share of the channel, in contrast to the throughput fair share adopted by existing algorithms. Therefore, each flow receives services in proportion to its perceived transmission rate, and high-rate flows are able to opportunistically exploit their good channel conditions and receive more services. MWFS also renovates the compensation model in order to allow for error-prone flows to catch up, thus ensuring fairness for all flows over error-prone channels. We demonstrate the effectiveness of MWFS through both simulations and analysis. Especially, WMFS achieves system throughput 159\% of state-of-the-art scheduling algorithms in simulated scenarios.},

In this paper, we propose ADCA, a high-performance MAC that works with high-capacity physical layer. ADCA exploits two ideas of adaptive batch transmission and opportunistic selection of high-rate hosts to simultaneously reduce the overhead and improve the aggregate throughput. It opportunistically favors high-rate hosts by providing higher access probability and more access time, while ensuring each low-rate host certain minimum amount of channel access time. Simulations show that the ADCA design increases the throughput by 112\% and reduces the average delay by 55\% compared with the legacy DCF.

To this end, we created a new fine-grain cycle stealing approach and conducted a performance comparison study against the traditional coarse-grain cycle stealing. We developed a prototype of fine-grain cycle stealing, the Linger-Longer system, on a Linux cluster.

	abstract = {The introduction of powerful workstations connected through local area networks (LANs) inspired new database management system (DBMS) architectures that offer high performance characteristics. The authors examine three such software architecture configurations: client-server (CS), the RAD-UNIFY type of DBMS (RU), and enhanced client-server (ECS). Their specific functional components and design rationales are discussed. Three simulation models are used to provide a performance comparison under different job workloads. Simulation results show that the RU almost always performs slightly better than the CS, especially under light workloads, and that ECS offers significant performance improvement over both CS and RU. Under reasonable update rates, the ECS over CS (or RU) performance ratio is almost proportional to the number of participating clients (for less than 32 clients). The authors also examine the impact of certain key parameters on the performance of the three architectures and show that ECS is more scalable that the other two},
