Abstract

In this paper, we present a joint game-theoretic approach to perform inter-cell interference coordination in uplink multi-cell orthogonal frequency division multiple access networks. The coordinated user scheduling and power allocation are considered simultaneously. We prove the existence of the joint-strategy Nash equilibrium (NE) in which both the user scheduling and power allocation strategy reach NE. Then, we design a distributed joint-strategy iterative algorithm to perform interference-aware resource allocation where only partial information exchange is involved. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
