Abstract: A potential game theoretic solution for distributed uplink dynamic subcarrier and power allocation in multi-cell OFDMA systems is presented, with each mobile station updating its own power level based on local information according to the best response dynamic. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that there exists a unique steady state and that the proposed distributed power control algorithm can converge to the steady state quickly. The algorithm can achieve a much higher energy efficiency compared with the pure iterative water-filling algorithm.

Key words: multi-cell OFDMA, distributed resource allocation, potential game
