==== Scheduling and Information Theory for Multiuser Channels ====



\\ 

**Description:**\\ 
\\ In multiuser communication systems, the problem of allocating resources (such as rate or power) between bursty users, has shown to be essential in the characterization of the optimal values for quality-of-service measures like packet throughput and delay.
\\    
\\  
**Objective:**

In this semester project, we propose the study of optimal scheduling policies in the context of multiaccess channels and broadcast channels, or/and the implementation of some good policies and the comparison with other heuristic policies. \\
