Abstract

We develop distributed algorithms to allocate resources in multi-hop wireless networks with the aim of minimizing the total cost. In order to observe the fundamental duplexing constraint that co-located transmitters and receivers cannot operate simultaneously on the same frequency band, we first devise a spectrum allocation scheme that divides the whole spectrum into multiple sub-bands and activates conflict-free links on each sub-band. We show that the minimum number of required sub-bands grows asymptotically at a logarithmic rate with the chromatic number of network connectivity graph. A simple distributed and asynchronous algorithm is developed to feasibly activate links on the available sub-bands. Given a feasible spectrum allocation, we then develop node-based distributed algorithms for optimally controlling the transmission powers on active links for each sub-band, jointly with traffic routes and user input rates in response to channel states and traffic demands. We show that under specified conditioans, the algorithms asymptotically converge to the optimal operating point.
