A novel distributed power control paradigm is proposed for dense small cell networks co-existing with a traditional macrocellular network. The power control problem is first modeled as a stochastic game and the existence of the Nash Equilibrium is proven. Then we extend the formulated stochastic game to a mean field game (MFG) considering a highly dense network. An MFG is a special type of differential game which is ideal for modeling
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
