Admission control, power control and QoS analyses for ad hoc wireless networks

For ad hoc wireless mobile networks, we present several criteria and algorithms to control the admission of new transceivers and to balance the tradeoff between power consumption and link maintenance. From a random graph theoretic perspective, we first propose an admission control scheme based on the evolution of ad hoc networks. This also provides analyses on QoS assurance and pricing schemes. For the power control problem, based on thresholding phenomena in random graph models, we balance power conservation and interference mitigation with network performance criteria such as robust routing, multicasting, transmission delay and length of multi-hop transmissions
