报告摘要:
The multi-radio multi-channel (MR-MC) networking provides a generic computing platform for a variety of next-generation wireless networks. Optimal capacity analysis in multi-radio multichannel wireless networks by nature incurs the formulation of a mixed integer programming, which is NP-hard in general. The current state of the art mainly resorts to heuristic algorithms to obtain an approximate solution. In this talk, we will present some of our recent studies on the fundamental issue: Is it possible to find efficient computing methodologies to optimize the capacity of MR-MC networks? We first introduce a novel concept of multi-dimensional conflict graph (MDCG). Based on the MDCG, the capacity optimization issue can be transformed into the linear programming domain, as a multi-commodity flow (MCF) problem augmented with the maximal independent set (MIS) based scheduling. The MDCG-based solution will provide not only the maximum throughput or utility, but also the associated optimal resource allocation on routing, channel/radio assignment, and scheduling. Furthermore, the concept of MDCG enables a virtual single-radio single-channel (SR-SC) model, under which the throughput-optimal control and cross-layer optimization of a MR-MC wireless network can be rigorously formulated and studied. In this talk, we will also discuss the methods for developing low-complexity algorithms for both centralized capacity optimization and distributed network control in MR-MC networks.
