Abstract

We model a single-hop mobile network under centralized control with N service classes as a system of N weighted cost parallel queues with M (1 ≤ M < N) servers, arrivals, varying binary connectivity, and Bernoulli service success at each queue. We consider scheduling problems in this system and, under various assumptions on arrivals and connectivity, derive conditions sufficient, but not necessary, to guarantee the optimality of an index policy.
