Scheduling and Flow Control for Delay Guarantees in Multi-hop Wireless Networks

We study flow control and scheduling policy for end-to-end delay-constrained traffic in multi-hop wireless networks. Our paper develops a scheduling and flow control algorithm which guarantees delay constraints and allows distributed implementation. The resulting policy makes decision bases on a delay feedback from destination nodes. The proposed policy guarantees delay and stabilizes network system given that sufficient condition of network stability under specified delay requirement is satisfied.
