Abstract:

Spectrum efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) are key specifications for the performance of the fifth generation (5G) wireless communications. In this paper, we study optimization of resource efficiency of a coordinated multi-cell multi-user downlink system defined as a weighted sum of SE and EE. The considered optimization is a nonconvex problem due to nonconvexity of the user rate for an interference channel. The original problem is transformed to a tractable form by exploiting the fractional problem theory and the relation between the user rate and minimum mean square error. A hierarchical iterative alternating optimization algorithm is then proposed to address the latter. Furthermore, convergence of the algorithm is shown. Numerical results are provided to validate effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
