Abstract

In this work, we present a Fully distributed Learning Algorithm for Power allocation in HetNetS, referred to as FLAPH algorithm, that reaches to the global optimum given by the total social welfare. Using a mix of macro and femto base stations, we discuss opportunities to maximize users global throughput. We prove the convergence of our algorithm and compare its performances with the well-established Gibbs algorithm which ensures convergence to the global optimum.
