A Power Allocation Algorithm Based on Cooperative Game Theory in Multi-cell OFDM Systems

Cross-layer Packet-dependant OFDM Scheduling Based on Proportional Fairness

This paper assumes each user has more than one queue, derives a new packet-dependant proportional fairness power allocation pattern based on the sum of weight capacity and the packet’s priority in users’ queues, and proposes 4 new cross-layer packet-dependant OFDM scheduling schemes based on proportional fairness for heterogeneous classes of traffic. Scenario 1, scenario 2 and scenario 3 lead r...

Transmission cost allocation based on cooperative game theory

Cooperative network flow problem with pricing decisions and allocation of benefits: A game theory approach

Several real problems in telecommunication, transportation, and distribution industries can be well analyzed by network flow models. In revenue management, pricing plays a primary role which increases the profit generated from a limited supply of assets. Pricing decision directly affects the amount of service or product demand. Hence, in traditional maximum flow problem, we assume that the dema...

Adaptive Power Control in Multi-Cell OFDM Systems: A Noncooperative Game with Power Unit Based Utility

In this paper, we develop a new distributed adaptive power control framework for multi-cell OFDM systems based on the game theory. A specific utility function is defined considering the users’ achieved average utility per power, i.e., power unit based utility. We solve the subcarrier allocation issue naturally as well as the power control. Each user tries to maximize its utility by adjusting th...

Adaptive Subcarrier Assignment and Power Distribution in Multiuser OFDM Systems with Proportional Data Rate Requirement

A low complexity dynamic subcarrier and power allocation methodology for downlink communication in an OFDM-based multiuser environment is developed. The problem of maximizing overall capacity with constraints on total power consumption, bit error rate and data rate proportionality among users requiring different QOS specifications is formulated. Assuming perfect knowledge of the instantaneo...
