Distributed fair scheduling and power control in wireless ad hoc networks

We propose a distributed fair scheduling framework for wireless ad hoc networks. Unlike previous works, which assume error-free or predictable channels, our work is based on the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) model and views channel errors as a result of the interference among the scheduled flows. We show by analysis that under the presented framework long term fairness is guaranteed; furthermore, the framework enables us to maximize throughput and minimize transmit power in a distributed manner.
