Several methods of scheduling a time division multiple access, or TDMA, receiver with no feedback capability are evaluated for their throughput performance. Some of the options considered include prior time as opposed to real time scheduling, optimal as opposed to simple or greedy scheduling, multiple listening capability, and the ability to utilize incremental redundancy techniques. All of these methods are compared by using various values for the rebroadcast redundancy. Keywords: Scheduling algorithms; Spread spectrum; Incremental redundancy; Radio networks.
