Description
Summary:In recent years, with the spectrum resources in low frequency bands becoming increasingly insufficient, the carrier frequency of wireless communication has started its evolution to the Terahertz (THz) frequency band, and meanwhile the THz communication system has become one of the research hot spots. In this paper, we investigate the problem of concurrent transmission scheduling for THz wireless backhaul network. To increase the weighted sum of completed flows with their quality of service (QoS) requirements satisfied in THz wireless backhaul network, we propose an algorithm of QoS-aware bandwidth allocation and concurrent scheduling (IHQB). Considering the priority of the flow, the reciprocal of the priority is taken as the weight of the flow. In this algorithm, QoS awareness and bandwidth allocation are exploited to achieve more successfully scheduled flows and higher network throughput. The concurrent scheduling with the maximum independent set (MIS) is allocated to different frequency bands. And the mentioned MIS is obtained from the conflict graph which has been established under the conditions of half-duplex and interference threshold. Simulation results show that IHQB performs better than other algorithms in terms of the weighted sum of completed flows and system throughput, especially compared with STDMA.
