Abstract: In this paper, we present a joint power control, link scheduling and rate control (PSR) algorithm for wireless ad hoc networks by using the convex optimization theory. This algorithm practically considers the power control problem in the interference-based link scheduling process, and provides a congestion control on the transport layer. Both our theoretical analysis and simulation results prove that the PSR algorithm can converge quickly and is possible for distributed implementation in the wireless ad hoc networks.
