Abstract

In this paper, we study the performance of a distributed power adjustment algorithm for shared and split spectrum allocation setups. The theoretical analysis reveals that the convergence of the power control algorithm is guaranteed under different spectrum allocation schemes and the convergence rate is exponential. The performance analysis is also carried out via simulations which demonstrate the algorithm fairness under Jain’s and Atkinkons’ fairness indices.
