This paper presents a distributed mechanism for improving the overall energy efficiency of a wireless network where users can control their uplink transmit power targeted to the multiple access points in the network. This mechanism lets the network achieve a trade-off between energy efficiency and spectral efficiency through the use of suitably designed utility functions. A user's utility is a function of throughput and average transmission power. Throughput is assumed to be a sigmoidal function of signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. Each user, being selfish and rational, acts to maximise its utility in response to signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio by adjusting its power. The resulting mechanism is a distributed power control scheme that can incline towards energy-efficient or spectrally efficient operating points depending on the choice of utility function. Existence and uniqueness of Nash equilibrium points in this game are shown via convergence of the distributed power iterations. It is shown that, in the best-response strategy, each user selects a single access point. An extension of this result for a multicarrier system is considered, and the corresponding power levels used for various priorities between energy efficiency and spectral efficiency are characterised. Finally, several numerical studies are presented to illustrate the analysis. Copyright (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Optimal resource allocation algorithms for efficient operation of wireless networks Özel, Ömür; Uysal Bıyıkoğlu, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) In this thesis, we analyze allocation of two separate resources in wireless networks: transmit power and buffer space. Controlled allocation of power can provide good performance for both users and the network. Although centralized mechanisms are possible, distributed power control algorithms are preferable for efficient operation of the network. Viewing distributed power allocation as the collection of rational decisions of each user, we make game theoretic problem formulations, devise distributed algorith...
Carrier Phase Shift Method of SPWM for Concurrent Wired and Wireless Power Transfer Systems Ayaz, Enes; Altun, Ogün; Keysan, Ozan (2022-01-01) This paper presents an approach for concurrent power transfer to wired and wireless systems using just a single inverter. The approach utilizes a novel carrier phase-shift (CPS) method that independently controls the inverter output voltages at the fundamental and switching frequencies. This proposed method can be a cost-effective solution to wireless power transfer (WPT) systems used in contactless slip rings (CSR), which transfer power to auxiliary loads such as sensors, radars, and IoT devices. There are...
Secure Wireless Powered and Cooperative Jamming D2D Communications Chu, Zheng; Nguyen, Huan X; Le, Tuan Anh; Karamanoglu, Mehmet; EVER, ENVER; Yazıcı, Adnan (2017-10-01) This paper investigates a secure wireless-powered device-to-device (D2D) communication network in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers, where a hybrid base station (BS) in a cellular network not only provides power wirelessly for the D2D transmitter to guarantee power efficiency for the D2D network, but also serves as a cooperative jammer to interfere with the eavesdroppers. The cellular and D2D networks can belong to different service providers, which means that the D2D transmitter would need to pay for ...
Energy-efficient scheduling of packet transmissions over wireless networks Balaji, Prabhakar; Uysal, Elif; El Gamal, Abbas (null; 2002-06-23) The paper develops algorithms for minimizing the energy required to transmit packets in a wireless environment. It is motivated by the following observation: In many channel coding schemes it is possible to significantly lower the transmission energy by transmitting packets over a long period of time. Based on this observation, we show that for a variety of scenarios the offline energy-efficient transmission scheduling problem reduces to a convex optimization problem. Unlike for the special case of a single...
Multimedia communication in wireless sensor networks Gurses, E; Akan, OB (2005-07-01) The technological advances in Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) and wireless communications have enabled the realization of wireless sensor networks (WSN) comprised of large number of low-cost, low-power multifunctional sensor nodes. These tiny sensor nodes communicate in short distances and collaboratively work toward fulfilling the application specific objectives of WSN. However, realization of wide range of envisioned WSN applications necessitates effective communication protocols which can address ...
