Energy consumption is a main issue of concern in wireless networks. Energy minimization increases the time that networks' nodes work properly without recharging or substituting batteries. Another criterion for network performance is data transmission rate which is usually quantified by a network utility function. There exists an inherent tradeoff between these criteria and enhancing one of them can deteriorate the other one. In this paper, we consider both Network Utility Maximization (NUM) and energy minimization in a bi-criterion optimization problem. The problem is formulated for Random Access (RA) Medium Access Control (MAC) for ad-hoc networks. First, we optimize performance of the MAC and define utility as a monotonically increasing function of link throughputs. We investigate the optimal tradeoff between energy and utility in this part. In the second part, we define utility as a function of end to end rates and optimize MAC and transport layers simultaneously. We calculate optimal persistence probabilities and end-to-end rates. Finally, by means of duality theorem, we decompose the problem into smaller subproblems, which are solved at node and network layers separately. This decomposition avoids need for a central unit while sustaining benefits of layering.
