Hop-by-Hop Congestion Control with Power Control for Wireless Mesh Networks

This paper deals with the problem of joint hop-by-hop congestion control and power control in wireless networks. We couple the back-pressure policy and window-based congestion control at source nodes with power control to provide end-to-end fairness. Our definition of fairness includes arbitrarily close approximation of max-min fairness. Numerical experiments indicate good transient response to channel variations.
