Summary:
This paper considers a proportional fairness of end-to-end session rates in a multihop wireless network through the rate control framework. In multihop wireless networks, there are two classes of rate control problem. One focuses in optimizing the transmission attempt probabilities at the lower layers, but not the transmit powers while other problem is closely related to jointly optimal congestion control and power control. Proportional fairness is a fundamental concept in flow control problems. In this paper, we give in-depth analysis and show that the optimal solutions of these problems are proportionally fair provided that the objective functions are suitably chosen.
