Title
Spatial Reuse For Practical Scenarios: Iterative Power Adjustment From Distributed Contour Estimation And Propagation
Abstract
The number of wireless networks that coexist in space is increasing steeply. To allow coexistence while avoiding interference, it becomes important to properly characterize the propagation contour where the received power of wireless transmitters reaches a certain threshold. Detailed channel modeling taking into account the specificities of typical urban Scenarios is however a very complex task. Thanks to the widespread use of wireless access technology, it becomes feasible to use network nodes to estimate and communicate these propagation contours. In this paper, we propose a lightweight practical scheme for local contour estimation of a given transmitter. The local estimate is efficiently propagated to all other secondary transmitters that call then meet interference constraints optimally, i.e., without having to consider large safety margins that limit spatial reuse gains. This optimality is obtained through iterative power control based on true propagation contour distances and local pathloss estimates. The overhead of the estimation and communication phases is simulated to be close to linear in the number of nodes, so that the solution scales well. The scheme can be used for optimal power control in practical wireless networks, or for the deployment of secondary networks in areas with primary transmitters that should be protected.
