Fundamental limits of wireless ad hoc networks: upper MO bounds

Overview & Synopsis

This report addresses the problem of deriving fundamental trade-off bounds for wireless ad hoc networks when multiple performance criteria are of interest. It proposes a MultiObjective (MO) performance evaluation framework composed of a broadcast and interference-limited network model, a steady state performance metric derivation inspired by a discrete Markov chain formalism and formulates the associated MO optimization problem. Pareto optimal performance bounds between end-to-end delay and energy for a capacity-achieving network are given for the 1-relay and 2-relay networks and assessed through simulations.
