Consensus Transmit Power Control with Optimal Search Technique for Full-duplex Wireless Multihop Networks

Full-duplex (FD) communication is one of the key drivers for improving spectrum utilization. Many researches have been studied to suppress the self-interference for realizing FD communications in addition to reducing the co-channel interference from other ongoing transmissions. Since controlling the transmission power will affect the total interference and improve the overall network capacity, in this paper, we investigate an improved consensus transmit power control (CTPC) algorithm with optimal search technique to maximize the saturation throughput while reducing the transmission power and message exchange overhead in the FD wireless multihop networks. Numerical simulations reveal that the CTPC performance can achieve better performance in terms of saturation throughput, transmit power and message exchange overhead.
