Approximation Algorithms for Computing Capacity of Wireless Networks with SINR Constraints

TLDR
This paper develops polynomial time algorithms to provably approximate the total throughput in this setting of the capacity estimation problem using the more general Signal to Interference Plus Noise Ratio model for interference, on arbitrary wireless networks.
Abstract
A fundamental problem in wireless networks is to estimate its throughput capacity - given a set of wireless nodes, and a set of connections, what is the maximum rate at which data can be sent on these connections. Most of the research in this direction has focused on either random distributions of points, or has assumed simple graph-based models for wireless interference. In this paper, we study capacity estimation problem using the more general Signal to Interference Plus Noise Ratio (SINR) model for interference, on arbitrary wireless networks. The problem becomes much harder in this setting, because of the non-locality of the SINR model. Recent work by Moscibroda et al. (2006) has shown that the throughput in this model can differ from graph based models significantly. We develop polynomial time algorithms to provably approximate the total throughput in this setting.

The capacity of wireless networks

TL;DR: When n identical randomly located nodes, each capable of transmitting at W bits per second and using a fixed range, form a wireless network, the throughput /spl lambda/(n) obtainable by each node for a randomly chosen destination is /spl Theta/(W//spl radic/(nlogn)) bits persecond under a noninterference protocol.

Impact of interference on multi-hop wireless network performance

TL;DR: It is shown that the routes derived from the analysis often yield noticeably better throughput than the default shortest path routes even in the presence of uncoordinated packet transmissions and MAC contention, suggesting that there is opportunity for achieving throughput gains by employing an interference-aware routing protocol.
