Distributed Power Control <strong>and</strong> Rate <strong>Ad</strong>aptation 267PROOF Recall the ratio of SNR values depending on the transmissionpower selected is expressed from Equation 6.22 asSNR l(t) / SNR k(t) = Pt l(t) / Pt k(t)(6.35)where SNRl( t) <strong>and</strong> SNRk( t) are the measured SNR values, <strong>and</strong> Ptl( t)<strong>and</strong>Ptk( t)are the transmission powers used in each case, respectively. Assumethat value of Pt0( t) is known, which is needed to meet the target SNR 0 .Let the target SNR k for a different rate be provided beforeh<strong>and</strong>. The transmissionpower Ptk( t) needed to meet the target SNR k can be obtainedfrom Equation 6.35 asSNR0/ SNR k = Pt0( t)/ Ptk( t)(6.36)Equation 6.36, after rewriting becomes Equation 6.34. Error in estimationfor the kth rate is bounded provided the power calculated by DPCis bounded. Because the power for the lowest supported rate is estimatedusing the DPC algorithm, the power for the kth rate is also an estimate.ε Assume that is the maximum error in estimation of power by the DPC0algorithm. Applying this to Equation 6.34, the maximum error in estimationfor the kth rate ε k is given asSNR SNR = Pt t Pt t0/ k 0( )/ k( )(6.37)It is important to note that the error in estimation for the kth rate isproportional to the error in estimation of the basic rate <strong>and</strong> the ratio ofthe two SNR values. Consequently, the proposed DPC protocol can beused to calculate transmission power although noting that the error inestimation is bounded.6.8.7 Backoff MechanismThe desired backoff mechanism should dictate the backoff interval.Higher queue utilization in the next-hop node indicates that a longerbackoff interval is needed for all the nodes in the region so that the nexthopnode will access the channel more often. A quadratic relationship forbacking off is considered in this algorithm, with the intention that for highbuffer occupancy the backoff interval will be longer preventing bufferoverflowing, <strong>and</strong> that for low buffer occupancy the delay caused bybackoff will be low, thus not undermining throughput. The backoff intervalis calculated using( NEXT-HOP )2BI = ρ⋅SF ⋅ 1+ α⋅Q () t(6.38)
