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.
