Abstract

This paper reviews power control algorithms through interference management in a variety of network types, such as Device-to-Device (D2D) Networks, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), healthcare systems, and Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN). The growing requirement for effective and consistent wireless communications advanced approaches to mitigate interference, ensuring optimal power usage and network performance. We explore the exceptional interference challenges and requirements of each network type.  As wireless networks progress, managing interference becomes essential to maximize power usage and maintain network performance. This paper systematically reviews the latest advancements and methodologies that adjust power levels to mitigate interference. Additionally, we analyze these techniques and discuss their impact on spectral efficiency, supported by recent case studies. Our findings aim to guide researchers and practitioners in developing more effective power control and interference management solutions for next-generation wireless networks.
