A Game-Theoretic Approach to the Distributed Power Control Problem in Wireless Systems and the Application of a Simple Prediction Method

Game theory is a set of mathematical tools suitable to the modeling and optimization of problems involving agents with con icting interests competing for limited resources. It applies well for a number of problems in wireless communication, including power control. In this work, some basic concepts on game theory are presented and a general framework for the decentralized power control problem in wireless systems is constructed. Finally, a new algorithm based on a simple prediction method is developed and compared to the classical distributed power control.
