Description
Summary:A pricing mechanism to mediate (and allocate resources) between conflicting user and network objectives has been recently proposed [1] in a single-cell system. Here, we extend the results to a multicell system where the autonomous base station assignment and power control are formulated as a non-cooperative game among users. The network prices the resources using two strategies: global pricing that maximizes the revenue and minimax pricing that trades off the revenue for an evener resource allocation.
