The document discusses a study on optimal scheduling for multi-radio multi-channel multi-hop cognitive cellular networks (M3C2N) to address the overload issue in current cellular networks due to increasing data traffic. It presents a new architecture and formulates a joint scheduling and routing optimization problem, which is NP-hard, and proposes a column generation-based algorithm for approximate solutions. Simulation results indicate the effectiveness of the approach in finding optimal and near-optimal results, especially under uncertain channel availability.
