This paper offers a new insight to the fundamental problem of efficient admission control in arbitrary power-controlled wireless networks with an unknown call arrival distribution. Active transmitter-receiver pairs are assumed to (i) communicate simultaneously over shared channels, (ii) define target signal-to-interference and noise ratios (SINRs) by nonlinear functions of channel interference, and (iii) use adaptive power control to maintain the actual SINR at the target level in response to interference variations. Unlike other studies, in this study, power control with limited dynamic range and both the discrete-time and the continuous-time dynamics is explicitly considered, as well as the effects of stochastic radio propagation phenomena. Without relying on a priori assumptions, we first define sufficient conditions for a channel allocation mechanism to ensure the SINR constraints in cooperation with the deployed power control mechanism. We use the concept of Lyapunov stability as a cross-layer optimization criterion. Subsequently, we focus on the widely assumed case of SINR targets being defined by linear functions of interference, and show that such targets can be achieved if hii |A/i|Σj≠i hij ¬i, where hij is the channel gain between the transmitter of link j and the receiver of link i, and Ai is the slope of the linear definition of the target SINR. This knowledge allows us to propose a simple distributed algorithm for implementing an admission control mechanism that (i) uses interference and pilot signal measurements as its only decision-making input, and (ii) allows links to adaptively adjust the SINR targets within the system stability bounds. This mechanism is shown to outperform the carrier sensing approach (CSMA/CA) for admission control.
