Power control for successive interference cancellation algorithm based on game theory

Abstract

It was proved that implementation of successive interference cancellation could improve network throughput in wireless networks,while in order to maximize network throughput,it was a NP-Hard problem that how to control transmission power when successive interference cancellation was used in wireless networks.A non-cooperative game theory is proposed to solve power control between wireless nodes for successive interference cancellation,in which non-cooperative game theory model is proposed and Nash equilibrium is analyzed,and also the proposed algorithm can ob-tain good network throughput than others,simulations validate the results and demonstrate the superiority of the algorithm.
