<p> The transmit-power control (TPC) problem is a fundamental problem in cognitive
radio design, which aims at determining transmit-power levels for secondary
users across available subcarriers. This thesis studies both the theory and the
algorithms for the TPC problem for cognitive radio networks, and specifically
examines the problem under two different limitations: an interference-power
limitation and a low-power limitation. First, the TPC problems are cast into
game-theoretic models and the sufficient and necessary optimality conditions ·for
solutions are derived. Sufficient conditions for the existence, uniqueness and stability
of a solution are presented as well. Second, the fast iterative water-filling
controller (FIWFC) for the TPC problem is developed, which is linearly convergent
under certain conditions. The computational complexity is lower than for
the iterative water-filling controller (IWFC) for digital subscriber lines. In order
to evaluate the FIWFC, simulations are carried out for both stationary and nonstationary
radio environments. In addition, the performance of the FIWFC is
evaluated, given the presence of measurement errors. The results of these various
simulations show that the FIWFC outperforms IWFC in terms of convergence
speed in all cases. </p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
