Optimal Radio Channel Allocation for Fair Queuing in Wireless Data Networks

In this paper, the problem of fair scheduling in a wireless network is formulated as an assignment problem and an Optimal Radio Channel Allocation (ORCA) strategy is proposed for fair bandwidth allocation in a centralized manner. Simulation results show that the performance improvement due to ORCA c...

Description
Summary:In this paper, the problem of fair scheduling in a wireless network is formulated as an assignment problem and an Optimal Radio Channel Allocation (ORCA) strategy is proposed for fair bandwidth allocation in a centralized manner. Simulation results show that the performance improvement due to ORCA can be significant compared to other wireless fair-queuing mechanisms proposed in the literature such as WPS (Wireless Packet Scheduling).
