This dissertation presents new scheduling algorithms for sharing the common radio channel in mobile packet radio networks. The idea of sharing a common, multiple-access channel among many users was used in the past as the basis of many communication systems. However, the unique characteristics of the packet radio networks preclude the straightforward application of existing protocols that are tuned to other types of networks. For single hop packet radio networks with arbitrary multiple reception capacity, the first nontrivial scheduling algorithm is developed with guaranteed, almost optimal efficiency, obtained without requiring the simultaneous transmission/reception capability. We propose a robust scheduling protocol for multihop networks, which is unique in providing a topology transparent solution to scheduled access in mobile radio networks with guaranteed packet delivery.
