As　a　promising　future　network　architecture,　named　data　networking　(NDN)　has　been　widely　considered　as　a　very　appropriate　network　protocol　for　the　multihop　wireless　network　(MWN).　In　named-data　MWNs,　congestion　control　is　a　critical　issue.　Independent　optimization　for　congestion　control　may　cause　severe　performance　degradation　if　it　can　not　cooperate　well　with　protocols　in　other　layers.　Cross-layer　congestion　control　is　a　potential　method　to　enhance　performance.　There　have　been　many　cross-layer　congestion　control　mechanisms　for　MWN　with　Internet　Protocol　(IP).　However,　these　cross-layer　mechanisms　for　MWNs　with　IP　are　not　applicable　to　named-data　MWNs　because　the　communication　characteristics　of　NDN　are　different　from　those　of　IP.　In　this　paper,　we　study　the　joint　congestion　control,　forwarding　strategy,　and　link　scheduling　problem　for　named-data　MWNs.　The　problem　is　modeled　as　a　network　utility　maximization　(NUM)　problem.　Based　on　the　approximate　subgradient　algorithm,　we　propose　an　algorithm　called　`　jointly　optimized　congestion　control,　forwarding　strategy,　and　link　scheduling　(JOCFS)＇　to　solve　the　NUM　problem　distributively　and　iteratively.　To　the　best　of　our　knowledge,　our　proposal　is　the　first　cross-layer　congestion　control　mechanism　for　named-dataMWNs.　By　comparison　with　the　existing　congestion　control　mechanism,　JOCFS　can　achieve　a　better　performance　in　terms　of　network　throughput,　fairness,　and　the　pending　interest　table　(PIT)　size.
