Discrete Transmit Power Devices in Dense Wireless Networks: Methodology and Case Study

摘要: Machine-type communications (MTC) in 5G will be mostly realized using low-cost transceivers with a small, discrete set of possible configurations. This is contrast to more capable devices software defined radio capabilities that support configurations over practically continuous domain. We find existing theoretical work assuming domains cannot immediately applied such constrained MTC devices. Therefore, we propose methodology guides researchers the process developing effective wireless systems have restricted capabilities. By following proposed methodology, theories can experimentally evaluated and replicated. show how this for evaluating efficient interference mitigation on case study only transmit power levels. In study, formulate an problem corresponding game-theoretic formalism output validated some results obtained analytically simulation also found that: 1) practice, penalized stronger than theory determine them select all available levels; 2) allocation algorithm, convergence speed does not increase exponentially number devices; 3) selection algorithm converges two four iterations. Similarly, as presented used adapt test other resource management solutions operating environment real-world restrictions.
