Distributed power allocation for interference limited networks

The goal of our work is to limit in-band interference in wireless communication systems. Based on a three-regime interference classifier, we propose a novel distributed inter-cell power allocation algorithm where each cell computes by an iterative process its minimum power budget to meet its local quality of service (QoS) constraints. Analytical results show how our proposal permits to notably reduce both transmission power and harmful effects of in-band interference, while meeting QoS constraints of users in each cell.
