CROSS-LAYER DESIGN OF CONGESTION CONTROL AND POWER CONTROL
IN FAST-FADING WIRELESS NETWORKS
ABSTRACT:
We study the cross-layer design of congestion control and power allocation with outage
constraint in an interference-limited multihop wireless networks. Using a completeconvexification method, we first propose a message-passing distributed algorithm that can attain
the global optimal source rate and link power allocation. Despite the attractiveness of its
optimality, this algorithm requires larger message size than that of the conventional scheme,
which increases network overheads. Using the bounds on outage probability, we map the outage
constraint to an SIR constraint and continue developing a practical near-optimal distributed
algorithm requiring only local SIR measurement at link receivers to limit the size of the message.
Due to the complicated complete-convexification method, however the congestion control of
both algorithms no longer preserves the existing TCP stack.
We propose the third algorithm using a successive convex approximation method to iteratively
transform the original nonconvex problem into approximated convex problems, then the global
optimal solution can converge distributively with message-passing. Thanks to the tightness of the
bounds and successive approximations, numerical results show that the gap between three
algorithms is almost indistinguishable. Despite the same type of the complete-convexification
method, the numerical comparison shows that the second near-optimal scheme has a faster
convergence rate than that of the first optimal one, which make the near-optimal scheme more
favorable and applicable in practice. Meanwhile, the third optimal scheme also has a faster
convergence rate than that of a previous work using logarithm successive approximation method.
