Abstract
A distributed algorithm is presented for obtaining an efficient and conflict-free broadcasting schedule in a multi-hop packet radio network. The inherent broadcast nature of the radio channel enables a node's transmission to be received by all other nodes within range. Multiple transmissions can be scheduled simultaneously because of the multi-hop nature of the network. It is first shown that the construction of a broadcasting schedule of minimum length is NP-complete, and then a centralized algorithm based on a sequential graph-coloring heuristic is presented to construct minimal-length schedules. A distributed implementation of this algorithm is then proposed, which is based on circulating a token through the nodes in the network. >

TL;DR: A schedule is proposed which minimizes the makespan, the time when the last job is completed, and the constraints are that a job can only be scheduled after its release time, and preemption is not allowed.

Some complexity results about packet radio networks (Corresp.)

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the decision problem regarding the membership of a point in the capacity region of a packet radio network is NP-hard, where the problem is defined as the existence of any set of rules for moving the data through the network so that the desired rates are satisfied.
