Exploiting the Multi-Channel Advantage for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks: Achieving Both High Throughput and Low Delay with Low-Complexity Control

Abstract

In this project, we aim to develop control strategies for ad hoc wireless networks that, for the first time in the literature, will simultaneously optimize along three critical dimensions of performance: delay; throughput; and complexity. In particularly, our goal is to develop low-complexity and distributed algorithms that can simultaneously achieve both provably-high throughput and provably-low delay. The project presents the first comprehensive study for multi-channel advantage in large-scale wireless ad hoc networks. In particular, we will (i) develop implementable algorithms and protocols that benefit practical systems with either a single physical channel or multiple physical channels; (ii) design solutions that can quickly adapt to highly-dynamic and mobile environments; (iii) extend the multi-channel advantage to systems with multi-hop traffic and dynamic routing to provably achieve end-to-end high throughput and low-delay with low-complexity operations; (iv) develop algorithms that can fully realize the potential gain of advanced physical-layer mechanisms (such as MIMO and adaptive modulation/coding) with low-complexity control.
