Abstract
Packets are transmitted by a server to mobile nodes in a coverage area of a wireless network using a coverage and reliability map, which indicates qualities and reliabilities of links between the server and the nodes. When a new packet is received in the server, the server transmits the packet if a current load of the packets including the new packet is less than a peak load constraint. Otherwise, the new packet is delayed for one time slot.
Claims16
A method for scheduling packets in a wireless network of nodes by a server in a coverage area, wherein each node includes a mobile device capable of communicating with the server, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a new packet in the server for a destination node;
- determining whether a current load of the packets, including the new packet, to be transmitted in a current time slot is less than a peak load constraint;
- transmitting the new pack in the current time slot. to the destination node if true, and otherwise;
- delaying the new packet for one time slot, wherein the steps are performed by a processor at the server.
