Autonomous interference control for wireless mesh and ad-hoc networks - The generalized Lagrangian approach

We consider the combined problem of performance optimization and interference control in wireless mesh and ad-hoc networks. Relying on the specific construction of the generalized Lagrangian function we propose a simple primal-dual unconstrained iteration providing convergence to a (local) optimum under arbitrary performance objectives. We present a decentralized implementation of such routine in linear networks.
