Title: Scheduling in Wireless Networks with Flow Arrivals and Departures
Speaker: Prof. R. Srikant, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Abstract: Throughput-maximizing scheduling algorithms have been
well-studied for wireless
networks under the assumption that the number of flows in the network
is fixed. In this talk,
we will consider the impact of flow-level dynamics on the throughput
and delay performance
of both cellular and ad hoc wireless networks. First, we will describe
traditional scheduling
algorithms and identify the reasons for their poor performance in the
presence of flow-level
dynamics. Then, we will present new scheduling algorithms which
significantly improve upon
the throughput and/or delay performance of the traditional algorithms.
Bio: R. Srikant is with the University of Illinois at

Computer Engineering
and a Research Professor in the Coordinated Science Lab. His research
interests include
communication networks, stochastic processes and queueing theory. He
is the author of the
book “Mathematics of Internet Congestion Control” and a co-author of
the monograph “Network
Optimization and Control.” He is a Fellow of the IEEE and a
Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE
Communications Society for 2011-2012.
