In this paper, we study distributed power control in an interference network. In particular, distributed power control mechanisms are devised by exploiting a one-shot noncooperative game based on a suitably chosen utility function. The utility is a function of quality of service (QoS) objectives defined in terms of fading-induced outage probabilities. Equilibrium analysis of the resulting power control game is made, and its relationship with admission control is discussed. The main contribution of the paper is a mechanism for obtaining smooth non-monotonic reaction curves, in contrast to sharp cut-offs with increasing interference that are characteristic of admission control. This is done via the introduction of a factor f(d)(.) into the utility function, allowing users to smoothly decrease their objectives in response to interference. The resulting algorithm is called non-monotonic power control (NMPC). We provide sufficient conditions for a unique Nash equilibrium (NE) under NMPC. The equilibria are studied in numerical examples, which exhibit that NMPC increases the number of users who achieve their objectives, without removing any user, as compared to previous utility-based power control algorithms with harsher reaction curves. Considerable energy efficiency is gained by a transfer of resources from the disadvantaged user to the advantaged: users whose SIR objectives are infeasible under current channel gains reduce their own transmit power thus helping on others. We view this solution as an attractive alternative to pricing in wireless networks formed by cooperative nodes (such as sensor networks) where an economic model is not natural.

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...
Control Strategies for Grid Connected PWM-VSI Systems Kantar, Emre; Usluer, S. Nadir; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2013-11-30) This paper evaluates the current control methods for three-phase voltage-source-inverters (VSIs) connected to the grid via LCL-filters. Current feedback methods from both line and converter sides are compared and theoretical analysis is stated. The analysis is based on the existence of a critical resonant frequency dividing the controlling frequency interval into two regions; namely low and high resonant frequency regions. The feedback types and damping methods are evaluated for both low and high resonant f...
Network-wide energy efficiency in wireless networks with multiple access points Ozel, Omur; Uysal, Elif (2013-10-01) 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-t...
Discrete event supervisor design and application for manufacturing systems with arbitrary faults and repairs Acar, Ayşe Nur; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2015-10-07) This paper considers the supervisory control of discrete event systems (DES) that are subject to faults. To this end, an existing method for the fault-recovery and repair of single faults is extended to the case of different faults. As a result, we obtain a supervisor that follows the specified nominal system behavior in the fault-free case, converges to a desired degraded behavior for each fault type and recovers the nominal behavior after repair. The results of the paper are illustrated by a small example.
INTEGRATED INSTANCE-BASED AND KERNEL METHODS FOR POWER QUALITY KNOWLEDGE MODELING Guder, Mennan; Salor, Ozgul; Cadirci, Isik (2010-10-28) In this paper, an integrated knowledge discovery strategy for high dimensional spatial power quality event data is proposed. Real time, distributed measuring of the electricity transmission system parameters provides huge number of time series power quality events. The proposed method aims to construct characteristic event distribution and interaction models for individual power quality sensors and the whole electricity transmission system by considering feasibility, time and accuracy concerns. In order to ...
