We consider the standard message passing model; we assume the system is fully synchronous: all processes start at the same time and time proceeds in synchronised rounds. In each round each vertex can transmit a different message of size…
We study the wireless scheduling problem in the SINR model. More specifically, given a set of $n$ links, each a sender-receiver pair, we wish to partition (or \emph{schedule}) the links into the minimum number of slots, each satisfying…
