1.1 Resource allocation in wireless ad-hoc networks: capacity issues time-varying topologies and maximum throughput algorithms
A model that captures the local interaction of wireless links and its impact on access control and routing has been introduced [ 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.13]. It is general enough to have under its scope arbitrary topology networks, with end-to-end routing and a wide variety of signaling methods. In addition to wireless systems the model has within its scope other systems with interdependent service like input queueing switches and databases with locking. The notion of network throughput region is introduced to represent capacity. Maximum throughput network control policies are presented. These policies are of high complexity in general and often NP-hard. In [ 1.1.4] we find scheduling policies that minimize delay in networks with specialized topologies. In [1.1.8, 1.1.12] a linear complexity policy that achieves maximum throughput in the general model is presented. In [1.1.1, 1.1.3, 1.1.14 ] a model for the time varying wireless channel due to fading and mobility is introduced. The impact to the access layer is analyzed and access control policies that optimize throughput and delay in view of channel variability in a single hop system are provided. In [ 1.1.5 , 1.1.11] the maximum throughput policies in a general topology time varying network are provided. The time variability statistics are generalized as well to included the case of correlated losses. In [1.1.6] a generalization of the model in [1.1.2] is considered to include the cases of asynchronous service times and correlation among the users. Optimal policies are obtained in the generalized model as well. In [1.1.9 ] the asymptotic capacity in a hybrid network involving ad-hoc components and an infrastructure network has been evaluated.

1.3 Wireless ad-hoc networks: Quality of Service provisioning
In [1.3.2, 1.3.5] we present a methodology for providing QoS in wireless networks, that deals effectively with the main peculiarity of wireless networks, that differentiates them from their wireline counterparts, namely coordination of transmissions of neighboring interfering links. A distributed algorithm that does virtual bandwidth allocation to the different flows based on a token mechanism is provided. The algorithm is proven to be optimal, providing maxmin fair bandwidth allocation. In [1.3.4] end-to-end QoS provisioning is considered and a related algorithm that works in the multi-hop setting is provided. In [1.3.3, 1.3.6] a similar question of QoS provisioning has been investigated in a more general operating regime where the traffic is not pre-regulated and the scheduler may need to perform in conditions of overloading. In [1.3.1] we develop a technique for analyzing the performance of TCP sessions over wireless links with correlated losses and subsequently we use the technique to compare different TCP versions.
