A New Pricing Mechanism for Uplink Power Control in Wireless Data Networks

In this paper, we study the uplink power control problem of wireless data networks, where mobile users can transmit information to multiple base stations. We formulate such problem as a super-modular game, and propose a novel pricing mechanism through the integration of channel gain and the signal-tointerference ration (SIR). We develop some conditions to guarantee the Nash Equilibrium, and present some simulations to illustrate the effectiveness and fairness of the proposed mechanism
