Design of Cross-Layer Framework for Wireless Mesh Networks

In this paper, we present a cross-layer model jointing congestion control, routing and scheduling for wireless mesh networks. Our model is based on the model for wireless ad hoc networks. Its utility maximization problem is decomposed into congestion control subproblem and routing/scheduling subproblem that interact through congestion price. And we extend the model to have regard to the characteristics of the wireless mesh networks.
