Abstract

Several distributed power control algorithms that can achieve carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR) balancing with probability one have been proposed previously for cellular mobile systems. In these algorithms, only local information is used to adjust transmitting power. However, a normalization procedure is required in each iteration to determine transmitting power and, thus, these algorithms are not fully distributed. In this paper, we present a distributed power control algorithm which does not need the normalization procedure. We show that the proposed algorithm can achieve CIR balancing with probability one. Moreover, numerical results reveal our proposed scheme performs better than the algorithm presented in Grandhi et al. [1994]. The excellent performance and the fully distributed property make our proposed algorithm a good choice for cellular mobile systems
