  4. Abstract:
  5. In this paper, we study the power allocation problem in multi-cell OFDMA networks, where given the tradeoff between user satisfaction and profit of the service provider, maximizing the revenue of the service provider is also taken into account. Consequently, two Stackelberg games are proposed for allocating proper powers to central and cell-edge users. In our algorithm, assuming the fact that users agree to pay more for better QoS level, the service provider imposes optimum prices for unit-power transmitted to users as they request different levels of QoS. In addition, in order to improve system performance at cell-edge locations, users are divided into two groups based on their distance to the corresponding base-station (BSs): Central users and cell-edge users. The paper also exploits unique features of Coordinated Multi-Point Joint Transmission (CoMP-JT) where coordinated BSs are clustered together statically or dynamically in order to also address the requirements of cell-edge users. After simulating the proposed game with static clustering, a simple dynamic clustering algorithm is introduced for inter-cell coordinated networks where its performance is evaluated through simulations
