contents The increasing demand for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) calls for decentralized mechanisms that can allocate transmit power across nodes and channels under stringent resource constraints. Existing optimization-based approaches, however, do not account for expected settings where each link includes multiple channels (e.g., multi-band signaling). Motivated by recent advances in machine learning for distributed optimization, we propose MANET-GNN, a graph neural network (GNN)-based algorithm for decentralized power allocation in multi-channel MANETs. MANET-GNN explicitly exploits the network topology, scales efficiently with the number of nodes and frequency bands, generalizes across topologies and channel conditions, and enables near-instantaneous inference suitable for real-time deployment. Our design builds on a constrained optimization formulation and employs a dedicated GNN architecture inspired by message passing, trained via an unsupervised procedure that is robust to noisy channel state information. Numerical evaluations demonstrate that MANET-GNN achieves high-throughput multi-channel communication across diverse MANET scenarios.
