An approximate expression for the packet-loss probability is derived for networks with one or more mutually interfering clusters in Rayleigh fading environments and the approximation is shown to be good for relevant scenarios. We then present a scheduling algorithm based on Lagrangian duality that exploits the derived packet-loss model in an attempt to minimize the average packet-loss probability in the network. Computer simulations of the proposed scheduling algorithm showthat a significant increase in network throughput can be achieved compared to uncoordinated scheduling. Empirical trials also indicate that the proposed optimization algorithm almost always converges to an optimal schedule with a reasonable number of iterations. Thus the proposed algorithm can also be used for bench-marking suboptimal scheduling algorithms. Copyright 2009 Arash T. Toyserkani et al.
