Scheduling in omnidirectional relay wireless networks

Abstract

The capacity of multiuser wireless network, unclear for many years, has always been a hot research topic. Many different operation schemes and coding techniques have been proposed to enlarge the achievable rate region. And omnidirectional relay scheme is one of them.

This thesis mainly works on the achievable region of the all-source all-cast network with omnidirectional relay scheme. In order to better understand this problem, we first describe the half-duplex model on the one-dimensional and two-dimensional regular networks. And we present an optimal operation scheme for them to have the maximum achievable rate. For the one-dimensional general network, we proposed an achievable region that indicates valued improvement compared to the previous results. In the full-duplex model of the one-dimensional general network, the maximum achievable rate is presented with a simpler proof in comparison with the previous results. In this thesis, we also show some discussions on more general networks.
