Distributed joint rate and power control game-theoretic algorithms for wireless data

In this letter, we consider two distributed game theoretic algorithms to jointly solve the problem of optimizing the transmission rates and transmit powers for future wireless data communication systems. We then establish the existence, uniqueness and Pareto optimality of Nash equilibria of both games.
