Abstract
A wireless system can include a plurality of directional antennas and a scheduler scheduling multiple links between the plurality of directional antennas. The scheduler can schedule the multiple links concurrently in the same time slot based on Regret Benefit Ratio (RBR). The RBR is a single indicator combining contention for one of the directional antennas and Quality of Service (QoS). The scheduler can introduce a contention graph for the directional antennas that capture a global knowledge of interference.
