Abstract Ad hoc Wireless Networks, are networks formed by a collection of nodes through radio. In wireless networking environment, formidable challenges are presented. One important challenge is connection maintenance mechanism for power consumption. In this paper, a multi-objective optimal design is considered for ad-hoc networks which address the electrical power of nodes effects on cross-layer congestion control, routing and scheduling. We first formulate the rate and scheduling constraints. In this way, the multi-commodity flow variables are used. Then, resource allocation in networks with fixed wireless channel and single-rate devices is formulated. Since the electrical power of nodes effects are included in the design problem, we formulate resource allocation as utility and cost function, together in a maximization problem with those constraints. By dual decomposition, the resource allocation problem vertically decomposes into three sub-problems: congestion control, routing and scheduling. These three sub-problems interact through congestion and link price. Simulation results are included to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
