We investigate the issues of fairness and total performance which are measured by a utility function in the form of a weighted sum of link QoS. We disprove the common conjecture on incompatibility of min-max fairness and utility optimality by characterizing network classes in which both goals can be accomplished concurrently. We characterize power and weight allocations achieving min-max fairness and utility optimality and show that they correspond to saddle points of the utility function. Next we address the problem of the difference between min-max fairness and max-min fairness. We show that in general there is a fairness gap between the performance achieved under min-max fairness and under max-min fairness. We characterize the network class for which both performance values coincide. Finally we characterize the corresponding network subclass in which both min-max fairness and max-min fairness are achievable by the same power allocation. Copyright 2007 Holger Boche et al.
