A fundamental problem in the design of wireless networks is to efficiently schedule transmission in a distributed manner. The main challenge stems from the fact that optimal link scheduling involves solving a maximum weighted independent set (MWIS) problem, which is NP-hard. For practical link scheduling schemes, distributed greedy approaches are commonly used to approximate the solution of the MWIS problem. However, these greedy schemes mostly ignore important topological information of the wireless networks. To overcome this limitation, we propose a distributed MWIS solver based on graph convolutional networks (GCNs). In a nutshell, a trainable GCN module learns topology-aware node embeddings that are combined with the network weights before calling a greedy solver. In small- to middle-sized wireless networks with tens of links, even a shallow GCN-based MWIS scheduler can leverage the topological information of the graph to reduce in half the suboptimality gap of the distributed greedy solver with good generalizability across graphs and minimal increase in complexity.

Efficient scheduling of transmissions is a key problem in wireless networks. The main challenge stems from the fact that optimal link scheduling involves solving a maximum weighted independent set (MWIS) problem, which is known to be NP-hard. For pra
ctical link scheduling schemes, centralized and distributed greedy heuristics are commonly used to approximate the solution to the MWIS problem. However, these greedy schemes mostly ignore important topological information of the wireless network. To overcome this limitation, we propose fast heuristics based on graph convolutional networks (GCNs) that can be implemented in centralized and distributed manners. Our centralized MWIS solver is based on tree search guided by a trainable GCN module and 1-step rollout. In our distributed MWIS solver, a trainable GCN module learns topology-aware node embeddings that are combined with the network weights before calling a distributed greedy solver. Test results on medium-sized wireless networks show that a GCN-based centralized MWIS solver can reach a near-optimal solution quickly. Moreover, we demonstrate that a shallow GCN-based distributed MWIS scheduler can reduce by nearly half the suboptimality gap of the distributed greedy solver with minimal increase in complexity. The proposed scheduling solutions also exhibit good generalizability across graph and weight distributions.
We study the problem of optimal power allocation in a single-hop ad hoc wireless network. In solving this problem, we propose a hybrid neural architecture inspired by the algorithmic unfolding of the iterative weighted minimum mean squared error (WMM
SE) method, that we denote as unfolded WMMSE (UWMMSE). The learnable weights within UWMMSE are parameterized using graph neural networks (GNNs), where the time-varying underlying graphs are given by the fading interference coefficients in the wireless network. These GNNs are trained through a gradient descent approach based on multiple instances of the power allocation problem. Once trained, UWMMSE achieves performance comparable to that of WMMSE while significantly reducing the computational complexity. This phenomenon is illustrated through numerical experiments along with the robustness and generalization to wireless networks of different densities and sizes.
Graph convolutional neural networks (GCNNs) are a powerful extension of deep learning techniques to graph-structured data problems. We empirically evaluate several pooling methods for GCNNs, and combinations of those graph pooling methods with three
different architectures: GCN, TAGCN, and GraphSAGE. We confirm that graph pooling, especially DiffPool, improves classification accuracy on popular graph classification datasets and find that, on average, TAGCN achieves comparable or better accuracy than GCN and GraphSAGE, particularly for datasets with larger and sparser graph structures.
Network data can be conveniently modeled as a graph signal, where data values are assigned to the nodes of a graph describing the underlying network topology. Successful learning from network data requires methods that effectively exploit this graph
structure. Graph neural networks (GNNs) provide one such method and have exhibited promising performance on a wide range of problems. Understanding why GNNs work is of paramount importance, particularly in applications involving physical networks. We focus on the property of discriminability and establish conditions under which the inclusion of pointwise nonlinearities to a stable graph filter bank leads to an increased discriminative capacity for high-eigenvalue content. We define a notion of discriminability tied to the stability of the architecture, show that GNNs are at least as discriminative as linear graph filter banks, and characterize the signals that cannot be discriminated by either.
We study the problem of optimal power allocation in a single-hop ad hoc wireless network. In solving this problem, we depart from classical purely model-based approaches and propose a hybrid method that retains key modeling elements in conjunction wi
th data-driven components. More precisely, we put forth a neural network architecture inspired by the algorithmic unfolding of the iterative weighted minimum mean squared error (WMMSE) method, that we denote by unfolded WMMSE (UWMMSE). The learnable weights within UWMMSE are parameterized using graph neural networks (GNNs), where the time-varying underlying graphs are given by the fading interference coefficients in the wireless network. These GNNs are trained through a gradient descent approach based on multiple instances of the power allocation problem. We show that the proposed architecture is permutation equivariant, thus facilitating generalizability across network topologies. Comprehensive numerical experiments illustrate the performance attained by UWMMSE along with its robustness to hyper-parameter selection and generalizability to unseen scenarios such as different network densities and network sizes.
