On the Complexity of Scheduling in Half-Duplex Diamond Networks

Christina Fragouli, Ayfer Özgür Aydin, Siddhartha Brahma

We consider an n-relay Gaussian diamond network where a source communicates to a destination with the help of n half-duplex relays. Achieving rates close to the capacity of this network requires to employ all the n relays under an optimal transmit/receive ...

Low Complexity Scheduling and Coding for Wireless Networks

Siddhartha Brahma

The advent of wireless communication technologies has created a paradigm shift in the accessibility of communication. With it has come an increased demand for throughput, a trend that is likely to increase further in the future. A key aspect of these chall ...

Pliable Index Coding

Christina Fragouli, Siddhartha Brahma

We formulate a new variant of the index coding problem, where instead of demanding a specific message, clients are pliable, and are interested in receiving any t messages that they do not have. We term this problem pliable index coding or PICOD(t). We prov ...

A simple relaying strategy for diamond networks

Christina Fragouli, Siddhartha Brahma

We consider a Gaussian diamond network where a source communicates with the destination through n non-interfering half-duplex relays. Using simple approximations to the capacity of the network, we show that simple relaying strategies involving two relays a ...

Efficient Subnetwork Selection in Relay Networks

Christina Fragouli, Siddhartha Brahma, Ayan Sengupta

We consider a source that would like to communicate with a destination over a layered Gaussian relay network. We present a computationally efficient method that enables to select a near-optimal (in terms of throughput) subnetwork of a given size connecting ...

Structure of optimal schedules in diamond networks

Christina Fragouli, Siddhartha Brahma

We consider Gaussian diamond networks with n half-duplex relays. At any point of time, a relay can either be in a listening (L) or transmitting (T) state. The capacity of such networks can be approximated to within a constant gap (independent of channel SN ...

Simple Relaying Strategies for Half-duplex Networks

Christina Fragouli, Ayfer Özgür Aydin, Siddhartha Brahma

We consider the diamond network where a source communicates with the destination through N non-interfering half-duplex relays. Using simple outer bounds on the capacity of the network, we show that simple relaying strategies having exactly two states and a ...

Pliable Index Coding

Christina Fragouli, Siddhartha Brahma

We propose a new formulation of the index coding problem, where instead of demanding a specific message, clients are “pliable” and are happy to receive any one message they do not have. We prove that with this relaxation, although some instances of this pr ...

Simple schedules for half-duplex networks

Christina Fragouli, Siddhartha Brahma

We consider the diamond network where a source communicates with the destination through N non-interfering half-duplex relays. Deriving a simple approximation to the capacity of the network, we show that simple schedules having exactly two states and avoid ...
