Abstract :
The interaction between links in wireless multihop networks introduces extra constraints on the combinations of achievable flow rates. Algorithms have been proposed to achieve max-min fairness under these additional constraints. This letter provides a simple price-based max-min fair rate allocation scheme, building on a utility maximization scheme recently proposed for such networks.
