Opportunistic scheduling and routing can in principle greatly increase the throughput of decentralized wireless networks, but to be practical such algorithms must do so with small amounts of timely side information. In this paper, we propose three related techniques for low-overhead distributed opportunistic scheduling (DOS) and precisely determine their affect on the overall network outage pro...

This paper presents a technique to design switching gainscheduling controllers for plants with time-varying parameters. Given a desired L2-gain, the proposed method divides the parameter set into several subsets, and designs a robust controller for each subset. The method can achieve higher performances than traditional gain-scheduling controller design methods. A numerical example shows the ef...

Fixed-task-priority (FTP) scheduling and earliest-deadline-first (EDF) scheduling policies are alike in fixing the priority of each job of a task at the time the job is released. This common feature of FTP and EDF scheduling permits a unified analysis of scheduling failures, to derive new sufficient tests for meeting all deadlines of a set of independent sporadic tasks under a global preemptive...
