This paper studies the transmit power optimization in a multi-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. To over-come the scalability issue of network-wide max-min fairness (NW-MMF), we propose a novel power control (PC) scheme. This scheme maximizes the geometric mean (GM) of the pe...
