Stackelberg Game-Based Power Control Scheme for Efficiency and Fairness Tradeoff
Sungwook Kim · IEICE Transactions on Communications · 2011
In this paper, a new power control scheme is proposed to maximize the network throughput with fairness provisioning. Based on the Stackelberg game model, the proposed scheme consists of two control mechanisms; user-level and system-level mechanisms. Control decisions in each mechanism act cooperatively and collaborate with each other to satisfy efficiency and fairness requirements. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme has excellent network performance, while other schemes cannot offer such an attractive performance balance.
