Abstract

In Chapter 3, the problem was to design a distributed scheduling algorithm to keep up with fixed arrival rates when the transmissions are single hop. In this chapter, we study the combined admission control, routing, and scheduling problem in a multi-hop network. That is, the arrival rates are not given ahead of time. Instead, the nodes exercise some admission control. Moreover, packets may have to go across a number of hops from their source to their destination. Finally, the routing is not fixed. The nodes choose where to send their packets. The objective is to maximize the total utility of the flows of packets across the network.
