Abstract :

Throughput-maximizing power control in wireless ad hoc networks is known to be a non-convex optimization problem. Such problem was recently approached by many researchers using geometric programming, signomial programming, etc. However, only suboptimal solutions have been obtained so far. The global optimal solution still remains open. In this talk, I will introduce a linear multiplicative fractional programming method to solve the throughput-maximizing power control problem. It can be proved that the
