Abstract
Systems, methods and computer readable media consistent with the present invention address this and other needs by providing mechanisms for minimizing an energy cost within a wireless network having a plurality of nodes, including a plurality of transmitting nodes and a plurality of receiving nodes. An energy cost, including at least an overhearing cost, is determined. A transmission power assignment of a transmitting node is then adjusted to reduce the energy cost. These determining and adjusting stages are repeated to reduce the energy cost.
