DESCRIPTION:Today wireless networks are an indispensable part of telecom i
 nfrastructure. This is while the demand for ubiquitous and high-speed data
  access is constantly growing.  As a result\, the architecture of mobile n
 etworks is moving towards that of densely deployed cells where each cell m
 ay use a different access technology as well as a different frequency band
 .  This complexity does not directly translate into improved performance\;
  it rather poses new resource management challenges to wireless service pr
 oviders. In this talk I present a number of light-weight scheduling techni
 ques\, namely adaptation of antenna tilt angles\, scheduling sleep modes a
 nd user to base station assignments for multi-homed devices. These schedul
 ers are aimed to improve network performance in a fair manner and are sele
 cted from parts of the results in my PhD work. Finally\, I conclude with a
  forward looking view on the intersection of my past and current research 
 interests. This is where I am interested to benefit from experimental eval
 uations in order to improve design and decision making tasks.
