Joint Power Control and Waveform Adaptation for Distributed Networks

This paper presents a joint power control and waveform adaptation algorithm for networks with non-colocated receivers, amenable to a distributed implementation. The proposed algorithm allows users to meet their target signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINK) requirements while reducing the transmit power-levels in the network. The performance of the algorithm is investigated via theoretical-analysis and simulations. It is shown that the joint algorithm results in better solutions than a pure power-control or a pure waveform adaptation algorithm.
