A non-cooperative power control algorithm based on nolinear payoff for WSNs

A non-cooperative power control algorithm for wireless sensor networks is presented to choice the appropriate transmission power and satisfies the maximum requirement of network utility. Because of reducing packet collisions and increasing good put, the proposed algorithm can effectively control transmission power of the nodes and prolong network lifetime efficiency. And the existing and uniqueness of Nash equilibrium for the algorithm is also proved. Simulation results show that the power control algorithm have optimal network performance.
