Abstract

Existing work on cross-layer optimization for wireless networks adopts simple physical-layer models, i.e., treating interference as noise. In this paper, we adopt a deterministic channel model proposed in, a simple abstraction of the physical layer that effectively captures the effect of channel strength, broadcast and superposition in wireless channels. Within the Network Utility Maximization (NUM) framework, we study the cross-layer optimization for wireless networks based on this deterministic channel model. First, we extend the well-applied conflict graph model to capture the flow interactions over the deterministic channels and characterize the feasible rate region. Then we study distributed algorithms for general wireless multi-hop networks. The convergence of algorithms is proved by Lyapunov stability theorem and stochastic approximation method. Further, we show the convergence to the bounded neighborhood of optimal solutions with probability one under constant steps and constant update intervals. Our numerical evaluation validates the analytical results.
