Abstract
We develop algorithms for finding the minimum energy transmission schedule for duty-cycle and rate constrained wireless sensor nodes transmitting over an interference channel. Since traditional optimization methods using Lagrange multipliers do not work well and are computationally expensive given the non-convex constraints, we develop fully polynomial approximation schemes (FPAS) for finding optimal schedules by considering restricted versions of the problem using multiple discrete power levels. We first show a simple dynamic programming solution that optimally solves the restricted problem. For two fixed transmit power levels (0 and P), we then develop a 2-factor approximation for finding the optimal fixed transmission power level per time slot, P opt , that generates the optimal (minimum) energy schedule. This can then be used to develop a (2, 1+ε)-FPAS that approximates the optimal power consumption and rate constraints to within factors of 2 and arbitrarily small ε> 0, respectively. Finally, we develop an algorithm for computing the optimal number of discrete power levels per time slot (O(1/ε)), and use this to design a (1, 1+ε)-FPAS that consumes less energy than the optimal while violating each rate constraint by at most a 1+ε factor.
