Centralized Scheduling Algorithm for Multi-transceiver WiMax mesh Networks

According to IEEE standard 802. 16, bandwidth allocation in WiMax mesh networks is mainly controlled by a centralized scheduling algorithm. Current scheduling algorithms are based on single transceiver systems. In this paper we investigate the scheduling problem on multi-transceiver WiMax mesh networks. We propose a centralized scheduling algorithm, along with a channel assignment strategy. In this algorithm, tokens are used to represent the data packets transmitted within the routing tree, and in each time slot we select a collection of links to transmit concurrently and assign channels to them. The simulation results show that our scheme can utilize the advantage of multi-transceiver, and the total transmission time can be reduced dramatically.
