Capacity Enhancement using Game Theory-Based Power Assignment for 5G Cellular Network

The increasing demand for high data rate services necessitates technology advancement and adoption of beyond 4G termed as 5G cellular standards. In this paper, game theory-based power assignment for capacity enhancement is investigated for 5G cellular network. Specifically, in this work, we analyze a multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) multi-carrier (MC) code division multiple access (CDMA) scheme as a possible air interface for next generation wireless network with capacity enhancement techniques. A pricing methodology and two non-cooperative MIMO power control games using recreation hypothesis are proposed in this work. The study shows that the proposed pricing scheme and power control games prove to be powerful techniques for attaining an enhanced performance as it results in 10% growth in equilibrium with less power usage in a MIMO MC-CDMA uplink communication.
