ABSTRACT:
A cross-layer protocol may generally provide joint control of power and schedule in a fully distributed manner without any centralized coordination for an interference-limited wireless network. Under the described protocol, each wireless device may use a detection trial to locally detect interference condition and randomly back off in a distributed manner. Based on the result of the detection trial, the wireless device may then shift between (1) a pure power control mode with power control and (2) a time sharing mode with joint power and scheduling control. The wireless device may also use the amount of backlog in its queue buffer to determine the duration of a silence period in the time sharing mode and an increment to the power level provided by the power control algorithm.
