Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the optimization of the total power utilization in a communication network. The utility function used in this paper aims for the maximization of joint network capacity in an interference limited environment. This paper outlines the various approaches currently being used in order to reduce the total power consumption in a multi cellular network. We present an algorithm for power optimization under no interference and in presence of interference conditions, targeting to maximize the network capacity. The convergence of the algorithm is guaranteed if the interference is not too large.
