Abstract

The problem of controlling transmission rate over a randomly varying channel is cast as a Markov decision process wherein the channel is modeled as a Markov chain. The objective is to minimize a cost that penalizes both buffer occupancy (equivalently, delay) and power. The nature of the optimal policy is characterized using techniques adapted from classical inventory control.
