1. A method for operating a wireless network having a predicable and stable network performance, the method comprising:
- controlling output distribution of nodes in the network to adapt to traffic changes in the network;
distributing power control to adapt to environmental changes in the network;
providing traffic sensitive routing to adapt to topology changes in the network; and
converging to set points based on the controlling output distribution, the distributing of power control and the providing of traffic sensitive routing.

Abstract
A method for operating a wireless network having a predicable and stable network performance. The method includes controlling output distribution of nodes in the network to adapt to traffic changes in the network, distributing power control to adapt to environmental changes in the network, and providing traffic sensitive routing to adapt to topology changes in the network. The method also includes converging to set points based on the controlling of output distribution, the distributing of power control, and the providing of traffic sensitive routing.

11. A wireless network comprising:
-
a plurality of nodes; an output distribution control protocol at a network layer of each node for adapting to traffic changes in the network; a distributed power control protocol at a media access control layer and a physical layer of each node for adapting to environmental changes in the network; and a traffic sensitive routing protocol at the network layer of each node for adapting to topology changes in the network; wherein the output distribution control protocol, the distribution power control protocol, and the routing protocol together function to stabilize nodes in the network to a predictable network performance during network disturbances. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
