ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns routing, scheduling, and power control methods for single and multi-hop wireless networks. A multi-hop network is one in which source and destination nodes may communicate directly or through relay nodes. Nodes in single hop networks communicate without use of relay nodes. Embodiments of the invention may produce an optimal schedule to provide for the best-case goal for a given parameter. In a preferred embodiment, total power is the parameter and total power is minimized for the network. In another preferred embodiment, data throughput is the parameter, and throughput is maximized for the network.
