Based on this LCP reformulation we establish the linear convergence of the popular distributed iterative waterfilling algorithm IWFA for arbitrary symmetric interference environment and for certain asymmetric channel conditions with any number of users. In the case of symmetric interference crosstalk coefficients we show that the users of IWFA in fact unknowingly but willingly cooperate to minimize a common quadratic cost function whose gradient measures the received signal power from all users. This is surprising since the DSL users in the IWFA have no intention to cooperate as each maximizes its own rate to reach a Nash equilibrium. In the case of asymmetric coefficients the convergence of the IWFA is due to a contraction property of the iterates. In addition the LCP reformulation enables us to solve the DSL power control problem under no restrictions on the interference coefficients using existing LCP algorithms for example Lemke s method. Indeed we use the latter method to benchmark the empirical performance of IWFA in the presence of strong crosstalk interference. Copyright 2006 Hindawi Publishing Corporation. All rights reserved. 1.
