Anti-Interference Distributed Energy-Efficient Power Allocation for Multi-Carrier Ultra-Dense Networks

The energy-efficient power allocation is studied in the uplink of the multi-carrier Ultra-Dense Networks (UDN). Based on the non-cooperative game theory, a distributed anti-interference power allocation scheme is proposed so that each cell can independently optimize energy efficiency while suppressing the intercell interference. Due to the fact that the energy efficiency problem under the constrains of the Quality of Service(QoS)and the maximum transmitter power is a challenging nonconvex problem and small cells suffer from the severe inter-cell interference, an accurate and low-complexity stair water-filling algorithm is proposed to solve the nonconvex problem in the best response process. Based on this algorithm, a multi-user anti-interference power allocation algorithm is proposed using interference channel gains. Simulation results and numerical analysis show that this algorithm can improve the system energy efficiency with no reduction in spectrum efficiency performance.
