Delay requirement becomes a key problem for the time sensitive applications in ad hoc wireless networks. This paper proposes a novel Network Utility Maximization (NUM) model with constrained delay for real-time applications in ad hoc wireless networks. By using dual decomposition techniques, we present a distributed iterative price and rate adaption algorithm which converges to the global optimal solution. The presented algorithm can jointly control congestion and contention while meeting the delay requirement of each fl...
