Quality-of-Service in Multihop Wireless Networks: Diffusion Approximation


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We consider a multihop wireless system. There are multiple source-destination pairs. The data from a source may have to pass through multiple nodes. We obtain a channel scheduling policy which can guarantee end-to-end mean delay for the different traffic streams. We show the stability of the network for this policy by convergence to a fluid limit. It is intractable to obtain the stationary distribution of this network. Thus we also provide a diffusion approximation for this scheme under heavy traffic. We show that the stationary distribution of the scaled process of the network converges to that of the Brownian limit. This theoretically justifies the performance of the system. We provide simulations to verify our claims.
