Algorithmic Agenda
• How to model wireless communication
– Particularly, interference
– Capture realism
– Analytically feasible
• How to solve fundamental problems
– Algorithmic strategies
– Structural properties
• Modus operandi:
– Ignore constant factors

Models for Interference
•
Two standard models in wireless networking
Protocol Model
(graph-based, simpler)
Physical Model
(SINR-based, more realistic)

Inductive independence
• There is a disc that intersects at most 3 mutually non-overlapping
discs
• Efficient 3-approximate algorithms for:
– Independent set (maximize throughput)
– Coloring
(minimize latency)
– Weighted independent set (maximize sustained throughput)

Hard instances for traditional graph-based models
• One link per slot, in graph-based models
• Single slot, in physical model (with appropriate power control)

Signal transmission
• Radio signal diminishes as it travels

• In the ideal case, the path loss is proportional to
where
d : distance
 : path loss constant (usually, 2 <  < 6), depends on medium

The job of the MAC layer
• MAC : Media Access Control
• The nodes in a wireless
network communicate over a
shared resource: the spectrum
• The task of the MAC layer is to
coordinate access to the
spectrum:
– Who gets to talk when

Results on Capacity and Scheduling
Capacity has constant-factor approximations for:
• Uniform power in R2, with >2.
[Goussevskaia,H,Wattenhofer,Welzl‘09]
• Any (reasonable) fixed power in general metrics [H, Mitra, SODA‘11]
• Arbitrary power control [Kesselheim, SODA‘11]
– Also, more recently, with power limitations [Wan‘12, Kesselheim‘12]
• Uniform power with spectrum sharing (cognitive radio) [H,Mitra‘12]
• Fixed power with variable data rates [Kesselheim‘12]
• Uniform power with a distributed learning algorithm [Asgeirsson,
Mitra ‚‘11]
Scheduling has constant-factor approximation for:
• Linear power [Fanghanel,Kesselheim,Vöcking’09; Tonoyan‘11]
• Equal-length links [Goussevskaia,Oswald,Wattenhofer, ’07; H ‘09]

Weighted degree
of v
Weighted inductiveness
• A link lv in a set S is t-good if av(S)+aS(v) ≤ t.
• A set of links is is t-inductive independent
if any subset contains a t-good link
• [H, Holzer, Mitra, Wattenhofer, SODA’13]
Any set of links in any metric is O(1)-inductive independent,
except possibly when using uniform power.
