Abstract

A wireless personal area network (WPAN) is comprised of battery-powered portable devices that support short-range communications. For saving energy and enlarging WPAN lifetime, one of the key issues in WPANs is to schedule the order of multiple streams among multiple devices so that the idle devices can go to sleep, and the total wakeup times become as small as possible. Guo et al. modeled the stream order scheduling (SOS) problem in WPANs as a Hamilton path problem and concluded that it is difficult to find exact and optimal solutions in general. However, in this paper, we will falsify the aforementioned suggestion by presenting a counterexample. Moreover, we propose a heuristic algorithm for solving the SOS problem in WPANs near to optimal. By carrying out various tests on 935 random graphs, we find that our method achieves the optimal solution with a very high success probability, about 99.5%.
