Adaptive online power control scheme based on the evolutionary game theory

In view of the remarkable growth in the number of users and the limited network resource, an efficient network management is very important and has been an active area of research over the years. Especially, during wireless network operations, adaptive power control is an effective way to enhance the network performance. In this study, a new online power control scheme is proposed based on the evolutionary game theory. To converge a desirable network equilibrium, the proposed scheme adaptively adjusts a transmit power level in a distributed online manner. For the efficient network management, the online approach is dynamic and flexible that can adaptively respond to current network conditions. With a simulation study, the author demonstrates that the proposed scheme improves the network performance under widely diverse network environments.
