Part 1: Analogy between info theory and network theory

Capacity Region Λ = Set of all end-to-end rate vectors (or matrices) achievable over a network.

Information Theory View of Capacity• Optimizes over all maps of symbols into codewords• Results known for point-to-point links• Results known for small 1-hop systems (broadcast/MAC)

Network/Queueing Theory View of Capacity• Sometimes called “transport capacity” [Gupta/Kumar]• Optimizes over all routing/scheduling/resource allocation• Typically “link based” (with some extensions…)• Simplified PHY layer (SINR, Interference Sets, etc.)• Results hold for arbitrarily large networks, with mobility

1 Wireless Link = AWGN Channel(symbol-by-symbol transmission)

1 Wireless Link = ON/OFF Channel(slot-by-slot packet transmission)

“info theory” “queueing theory”

C = log(1 + SNR)

Capacity maximizes time avg. bit rate. [Optimizes over all coding strategies.]

Packet Arrivals Pr[ON]=p

Part 2: Overview of Stochastic Network Optimization

How is this solved? We have a general and extensive theory: •Lyapunov Drift and Stability for Networks [Tassiulas & Ephremides TAC 1992, IT 1993]•Drift for Joint Network Stability and Performance Optimization [Neely thesis 2003, Infocom 2005], [Georgiadis, Neely, Tassiulas F&T 2006]•Virtual Queues [Neely Infocom 2005, IT 2006], [Georgiadis, Neely, Tassiulas F&T 2006]•Auxiliary Variables and “Flow State” Queues [Neely, Modiano, Li Infocom 2005], [Georgiadis, Neely, Tassiulas F&T 06]

Note: Our work is unique in that it: -Solves full problem on the actual queueing network of interest-Links very nicely to the previous Tassiulas drift framework-Gets Strongest Results, and Explicit performance-delay Tradeoffs

[O(1/V) ; O(V)] peformance-delay for any network, any utility

Question: Is this the optimal tradeoff?

The Basic Stability Theory for Networks:

Tassiulas & Ephremides [Trans. Autom. Control 1992]•Multi-hop network with Random Packet Arrival Processes•Link Scheduling according to “Feasible Activation Sets”•Lyapunov drift for stability•“Backpressure” Routing and Max-Weight Scheduling•Gives Stability for any rate vector inside capacity region•Does not require knowledge of traffic rates

Tassiulas & Ephremides [Trans. Inform. Theory 1993]•Single-Hop Dynamic Channels•“Opportunistic” scheduling (ie, “channel-aware”)•Lyapunov drift for stability•Max-Weight Algorithm does not require channel statistics or traffic arrival rates, gets stability whenever possible

Quick Description of “Backpressure Routing” and “Max-Weight Scheduling”:

[Red data is destined for red node, Yellow data is destined for yellow node]

• No pre-defined routes! • Optimal Link Activation Set determined by a max-weight rule•“Which packet to send over a link” is determined by a differential backlog index (backpressure)• The max-weight link activation can be NP hard for networks with interference, but is trivial (and distributed) for orthogonal links

An Abbreviated History of Lyapunov Drift for Network Stability: (for various computer networks and switching systems)•Tassiulas & Ephremides (Backpressure, Max-Weight) [1992, 1993]•Kumar & Meyn [1995]•McKeown, Anantharam, Walrand [1996, 1999]•Kahale & Wright [1997]•Andrews, Kumaran, Ramanan, Stolyar, Whiting [2001]•Leonardi, Mellia, Neri, Marsan [2001]•Neely, Modiano, Rohrs [2003, 2005] Extends to MANETs

Performance Optimization (time varying channels) but withno queueing or stability constraints (infinite backlog assumption):•R. Agrawal, V. Subramanian [2002] (“Proportionally Fair Alg”)•Kushner, Whiting [2002] (“Proportionally Fair Alg”)•Liu, Chong, Shroff [2003]

Corresponding Results for Static Networks (non-stochastic):These use static convex optimization theory to maximizenetwork utility. Lagrange multipliers are “shadow prices.” There is eitherno queueing analysis, or approximate queueing analysis.

Challenging to extend optimal delay results for stochastic systems beyond a single queue because…

1) Parameter Explosion: (cannot practically measure) Number of channel state vectors S grows geometrically with number of links N. Markov Decision Theory and Dynamic Programming requires knowledge of:

S = Pr[ S(t) = S] (for each channel state S ).

2) State Space Explosion: (cannot practically implement) Number of Queueing State Vectors U grows geometrically.

Idea: Combine Techniques of Buffer Partitioning and Performance Optimal Lyapunov Scheduling.

Av.Delay

Goals: 1) Establish the fundamental energy-delay curve for multi-user systems (extend Berry-Gallager to this case).

2) Design a dynamic algorithm to achieve optimal energy-delay tradeoffs. (Must overcome the complexity explosion problem).

Specifically: Define a general power cost metric h(P ):

Define average power cost:

Define: h* = Min. avg. power cost for network stability

(Push h arbitrarily close to h*, with optimal delay tradeoff…)

Theorem 1: (Characterize h*) Assume . The min average power cost h* is given as the solution to:

Define ( ) = min. avg. power cost h* above.

Corollary: For each , there is a stationary randomized alg. such that:

Need to strengthen the drift guarantees…Want to also ensure for all i {1, 2, …, N}

Use Virtual Queue Concept from [Neely Infocom 2005]:

Xi(t)Ai(t) + 1i

R(t) i(t) + 1iL(t)

indicator functions

Xi(t+1) = max[Xi(t) - i(t) - 1iL(t), 0] + Ai(t) + 1i

Use Virtual Queue Concept from [Neely Infocom 2005]:

Xi(t)Ai(t) + 1i

R(t) i(t) + 1iL(t)

indicator functions

Xi(t) Stable i + 1iL > i + 1i

To Stabilize Virtual Queues Xi(t) and Actual Queues Ui(t):

The Tradeoff Optimal Control Algorithm (TOCA):

1) Every slot t, observe channel state S(t) and queue backlogs U(t), X(t). Allocate power P(t) = P, where P solves:

2) Transmit with rate i(t) = i(P(t), S(t)). 3) Update the Virtual Queues Xi(t):

Xi(t+1) = max[Xi(t) - i(t) - 1iL(t), 0] + Ai(t) + 1i

Theorem 3 (TOCA Performance): For suitable , Q:

h Av.Delay

O(1/V)( V )

Comparing TOCA (statistics unaware) to Berry-Gallager (statistics aware) for a single queue

Beyond the Berry-Gallager Bound: Logarithmic delay!

If the Minimum Energy function () is peicewise linear(not strictly concave), then under suitable, Q, TOCA yields:

() (shown in 1 dimension)

Further, logarithmic delay in this scenario is optimal! Simple One Queue Example: P(t) ={0, 1} Watt. Two Equally Likely Channel States (GOOD, BAD):

U(t) (t)=(P(t),S(t))

() Can show thatlogarithmic delay is necessaryand achievable!
