Distributed scheduling of CDMA networks with minimal information
Aaron Kershenbaum, Michael J. Post · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 1991
An algorithm which produces conflict-free communication schedules in mobility multihop radio networks is presented. These schedules are produced in a completely distributed manner. The algorithm is based on a globally known permutation on the nodes of the network. As a result the only knowledge needed on the part of individual nodes is the number of nodes in the network. This permutation guarantees that conflict-free schedules can be produced in a distributed manner. Two extensions to the basic permutation are discussed. The first enables neighboring nodes to enhance their communication schedules in a fast, robust, distributed manner. The second extension allows the algorithm to operate in the presence of secondary conflicts.>
