With the explosive growth in demand for wireless
services,
the next generation wireless networks are expected to
provide solutions to cost-effective, ubiquitous,
always-on broadband access. There has been a general
consensus that developing network-level solutions
that take advantage of the interplay between the
physical-layer and the upper protocol layers would
yield significant performance gains. Thus motivated,
a common thread of this book is to study physical-
layer aware control and optimization in stochastic
wireless networks. Specifically, we want to obtain a
fundamental...
