Maximum Weight Independent Set of Axis-parallel Rectangles

Motivated by call admission control problems in networks with advance reservations Lewin-Eytan, Naor, Orda obtain a (4c)-approximation algorithm for finding a maximum weight independent set of axis-parallel rectangles in the plane, where c is the maximum number of rectangles that simultaneously cover a point in the plane.
We will outline the connection between a two-dimensional call admission control problem in line networks and the independent set problem for rectangle intersection graphs. Then we will present their algorithm based on the local ratio technique and prove the approximation ratio of 4c.
