The requirements of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for the 4th generation of
mobile devices raised up to 100 Mbps for high and 1Gbps for low mobility conditions. Reaching
such challenging targets requires the deployment of picocells and femtocells. These techniques
permit to achieve large cell capacity but also lead to diculties in terms of interference. The
GRACE algorithm, based on Cognitive Radio and Game Theory, has shown a fair balance
between cell capacity and outage as well as short convergence time, low complexity and easy
scalability. The aim of this work is to find an ecient power control algorithm that fits GRACE
these goals. Therefore, a study of Cognitive Radio, Game Theory and Power Control algorithms
is developed and a new power control algorithm is proposed. The simulation results show that
the Fractional Power Control can increase notably the outage performance and the energy saving
to the mobile devices.
