Interference-aware rate control for bursty interference channels
Peter Kairouz, Ahmed K. Sadek, Tamer A. Kadous · 2013
Interference in wireless networks has been identified as one of the main hurdles towards achieving higher network capacity. However, most of the literature has focused on solving interference problems assuming that interference is non-bursty. In this paper, we study bursty interference channels and propose novel interference-aware rate control algorithms. The proposed algorithms include single and multi-layer transmission schemes. We also present a framework for optimizing rate selection so that the overall throughput is maximized. Significant performance gains relative to traditional Hybrid Adaptive Repeat reQuest (HARQ) schemes are demonstrated.
