Abstract

Two distributed power allocation schemes are proposed to improve the energy efficiency and throughput in cellular networks subject to outage probability limits. The effects of path loss, log normal shadowing, and Rayleigh fading are considered. Upper and lower bounds on the outage probability are derived based on the normalized signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR). A power allocation problem for throughput maximization is presented and solved using the Lagrangian method. As this problem has high computational complexity, it is split into two subproblems. Then, a power allocation problem is proposed to improve the energy efficiency. This problem is in convex fractional programming form, so a parametric transformation is used to convert it into a subtractive optimization problem which can be solved iteratively. Results are presented which show that the proposed algorithms provide better performance than existing power allocation schemes.
