Uplink performance optimization of ultra dense Wi-Fi networks using AP-managed TPC

In this paper, we study the uplink transmission power control problem in ultra dense Wi-Fi networks and propose two novel access point-controlled frameworks, which determines optimum transmit power settings with the intention of maximizing an objective function. NS-3 simulation results show that the proposed centralized approaches reduce starvation among stations and significantly improves the objective function, resulting in improved performance.
