In this paper, the authors investigate the distributed power allocation for the multicell orthogonal frequency division multiple access networks by taking both the energy efficiency and the intercell interference (ICI) mitigation into account. A performance metric termed as throughput contribution is exploited to measure how the ICI is effectively coordinated. To achieve a distributed power allocation scheme for each base station (BS), the throughput contribution of each BS to the network is first given based on a pricing mechanism. Different from the existing works, a biobjective problem is formulated based on the multiobjective optimisation theory, which aims at maximising the throughput contribution of the BS to the network and minimising its total power consumption at the same time. By using the method of the Pascoletti and Serafini scalarisation, the relationship between the varying parameters and the minimal solutions is revealed. Furthermore, to exploit the relationship an algorithm is proposed based on which all the solutions on the boundary of the efficient set can be achieved by adaptively adjusting the involved parameters. With the obtained solution set, the decision maker has more choices in the power allocation schemes in terms of both the energy consumption and the throughput. Finally, the performance of the algorithm is assessed by the simulation results.
