Title: Novel Architectures and Algorithms for Adaptive
Scheduling and Routing in Wireless Networks
Abstract: The back-pressure algorithm is a well-known adaptive
scheduling and routing algorithm that achieves maximum throughput in
wireless networks. However, its delay performance may be quite poor even
when the traffic load is not close to network capacity due to the
following two reasons. First, each node has to maintain a separate queue
for each commodity in the network, and only one queue is served at a
time. Second, the backpressure routing algorithm may route some packets
along very long routes. We will present solutions to address both of the
above issues, and hence, dramatically improve delay performance.
The suggested solutions also decrease the complexity of the queueing
data structures to be maintained at each node. This is joint work with
Loc Bui and Alexander Stolyar.
Bio: Prof. R. Srikant received his B.Tech. from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras in 1985, his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1988 and 1991, respectively, all in Electrical Engineering. He was a Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories from 1991 to 1995. He is currently with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a Research Professor in the Coordinated Science Lab. He is an IEEE Fellow.
