Priority Based Power Allocation in a Mobile Communication Network

Current paper proposes a technique for power allocation in a communication network based on different priorities. In communication network, mobile terminals can perform different services such as video communication, audio communication, email, and gaming. All these services can be affected by different locations of mobile terminal as at different locations of mobile terminals different channel conditions are perceived. Proposed technique allocates priority based power for these terminals. The priority of terminal is based on ongoing service and location of terminal. Further, in addition to power allocation, proposed technique allocates minimum power to each user in the network. After setting the priorities, Lagrange multiplier technique is used for power allocation. Results of the current paper shows improved performance and fairness to terminal users..
