CS Other Presentations

Department of Computer Science - University of Cyprus

Besides Colloquiums, the Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus also holds Other Presentations (Research Seminars, PhD Defenses, Short Term Courses, Demonstrations, etc.). These presentations are given by scientists who aim to present preliminary results of their research work and/or other technical material. Other Presentations serve as a forum for educating Computer Science students and related announcements are disseminated to the Department of Computer Science (i.e., the csall list):

Invited Course Lecture: Broadcast Scheduling Algorithms for Ad-hoc TDMA Networks, Dimitrios D. Vergados (University of Piraeus, Greece), Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009, 10:30-12:00 EET.

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus cordially invites you to the Invited Course Lecture entitled:

Broadcast Scheduling Algorithms for Ad-hoc TDMA Networks

Abstract:
Ad-hoc networks rely on multihop transmission among the nodes on the same channel. Possible simultaneous transmissions may cause collisions, whenever transmitting nodes have a common destination node in their interference range. To avoid these collisions while minimizing the frame length, the NP-complete Broadcast Scheduling Problem (BSP) should be approximated. This is usually done by interpreting the BSP into a corresponding Graph Coloring Problem. In this talk, I will presented a proposed algorithm that tries to approximate the BSP, using an interference vector. Additionally, the node ordering policies used for scheduling are evaluated in terms of frame length and execution time. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has smaller execution time than the ones using graph coloring, and decreasing degree ordering results to the best frame length.
