Abstract

This article proposes a joint packet scheduling and channel allocation scheme for multiuser multichannel (MM) wireless networks. A fair scheduling algorithm is adapted to multichannel wireless networks by incorporating more realistic wireless channel characteristics. Channel conditions and different quality of service (QoS) requirements are properly reflected in the scheduling process, and allocation of multiple channels is also implemented. From both analysis and simulation, probabilistic fairness is guaranteed and utilization of each wireless channel is improved
