This document summarizes research on reliable transmission of packets using multiple channels. It discusses how the presence of time-varying channels and reconfiguration delays reduces network stability and optimal policies. Frame-based dynamic control and myopic policies are proposed to provide throughput-optimal network control despite delays. Simulation results show memory in channels can be exploited to improve stability region and throughput compared to memoryless channels. The work aims to stabilize networks using scheduling policies and Markov decision processes to achieve higher throughput with reduced delays.
