Abstract: Link scheduling is a key problem in the design of WiMAX WMN. To maximize the network throughput， an optimal interference-free link scheduling model was presented.For link list with equal slot demand， a heuristic link scheduling algorithm was proposed for WiMAX WMN. Furthermore， as the relay characteristics of WMN， an expansion graph model was designed on the basis of node and link decomposition. By detailing the transfer process， the ratio of the slot spatial reuse was enhanced， resulting in satisfying the link scheduling demand with single and multiple transmissions. Extensive simulation results showed that the network scheduling cycle can be effectively reduced， and the network throughput can also be improved.

Key words: link scheduling, expansion graph, heuristic algorithm, throughput, spatial reuse
