Energy Efficient Multicast Scheduling for IEEE 802.16e Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks

In this thesis, we proposed a simple yet novel multicast scheduling scheme for IEEE 802.16e wireless metropolitan area networks. Specifically, we want to solve the problem that how the base station schedules data messages in a multicast superframe such that mobile stations can receive their required multicast data and the total awake time of mobile stations is minimal. We first prove that this problem is NP-complete, and then propose a greedy k-approximation algorithm, named G-EEMS, whose running time is , where n is the total number of multicast data messages and k is the size of MBS (multicast and broadcast service) zone in a frame. Simulation results show that, in terms of energy throughput, G-EEMS significantly outperforms the existing scheme, called SMBC-D.
