We consider the power allocation for the two-tier heterogeneous network where a macrocell (MC) coexists with multiple femtocells (FCs). Each FC aims to maximize the weighted sum-rate of its users subject to MC signal-to-inter-ference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) balancing, which means that a prescribed S...
