Multi-Radio Multi-Channel (MRMC) systems are key
to power control problems in wireless mesh networks (WMNs). In
this paper, we present asynchronous multiple-state based power
control for MRMC WMNs. First, WMN is represented as a set of
disjoint Unified Channel Graphs (UCGs). Second, each network
interface card (NIC) or radio assigned to a unique UCG adjusts
transmission power using predicted multiple interaction state
variables (IV) across UCGs. Depending on the size of queue loads
and intra- and inter-channel states, each NIC optimizes transmission
power locally and asynchronously. A new power selection MRMC
unification protocol (PMMUP) is proposed that coordinates
interactions among radios. The efficacy of the proposed method is
investigated through simulations.1
