Reed-Solomon and Hermitian Code-based Scheduling Protocols for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Synchronous Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

General Research Objectives

Specific Research Objectives
Related work uses error correcting codes implicitly
Introduce error correcting codes as general framework for MAC scheduling
By-product: prove that a previous “optimality” claim can be improved upon
Study the performance guarantees of two well-known code constructions for MAC scheduling in multi-hop wireless networks
