In a statistical fading environment, the interference effects become harder to predict. Information sources in a multihop wireless network can improve throughput and delay' performance of data streams by implementing interference-aware packet injection mechanisms. Forcing packets to wait at the head of queues and coordinating packet injections among different sources enable effective control of co-packet interference. In this thesis. thronghpnt and delay performance in interference-limited multi-hop networks is analyzed. Using non-linear probabilistic hopping models, waiting times which jointly optimize throughput and delay performances are derived. Optimal coordinated injection strategies are also investigated as functions of the number of information sources and their separations. Obtained results provide guidelines for the placement nf relay nodes in multi-hop wireless networks.
