Joint routing of objects through a network consists of finding a set of time-disjoint routes for the objects that maximize the number of objects routed from the source(s) to the sink(s) and minimize the total cost. We show that maximizing the number of objects sent along time-disjoint routes can

can respond, without compromising stability. We present a sufficient condition for the local stability of end-to-end algorithms for joint routing and rate control. The network model considered allows an arbitrary interconnection of sources and resources, and heterogeneous propagation delays

to the Internet, thereby improving per-client throughput. Unlike previous heuristic approaches, we mathematically formulate the joint channel assignment and routing problem, taking into account the interference constraints, the number of channels in the network and the number of radios available at each mesh

ABSTRACT This paper considers the problem of determining the achievable rates in multi-hop wireless networks. We consider the problem of jointly routing the flows and scheduling transmissions to achieve a given rate vector. We develop tight necessary and sufficient conditions for the achievability

Abstract — A major challenge in the design and operation of wireless networks is to jointly route packets and schedule transmissions to efficiently share the common spectrum among links in the same area. Due to the lack of central control in wireless networks, these algorithms have

to be transmitted through the network to their destinations. We establish the capacity region of all rate matrices (# ij ) that the system can stably support---where (# ij ) represents the rate of traffic originating at node i and destined for node j. A joint routing and power allocation policy is developed which

Abstract—We present an iterative joint scheduling-routing algorithm for characterizing the long-term performance of a cellular-relaying network. The physical layer model is based on ideal rate adaptation, fixed transmission power, and average interference. At the MAC layer, time-shares of a common

In this context, we analyze energy-efficient joint routing, scheduling, and link adaptation strategies that maximize the network lifetime. We propose variable

Abstract-We explore radio resource allocation in Wireless Mesh Networks, namely we study how to determine a spaceand time-division pattern of transmissions, to deliver traffic to gateway nodes. We highlight link scheduling and routing issues, which we investigate in a cross-layer framework
