Joint Routing and Power Allocation for IDMA Applied in Multi-Hop Wireless Networks

Abstract

Efficiently transmitting data in wireless mesh networks requires an integrated routing, scheduling, and power control strategy. Extending previous work on fast distributed routing and power allocation in multi-hop wireless networks we present an algorithmic solution taking the transceiver structure based on interleave-division multiple access and the resulting combinatorial structure of the overall problem explicitly into account. The algorithm offers fast convergence to an optimum solution while providing robust capacity-achieving transmission in each link of a given network.
