Energy Efficient Joint Power Allocation and Beamforming for Cloud Radio Access Network

摘要: 针对云无线接入网络(C-RAN)的资源分配问题，该文采用max-min公平准则作为优化准则，以C-RAN用户的能量效率作为优化目标函数，在满足最大发射功率和最小传输速率约束条件下，通过最大化最差链路的能量效率来实现用户发射功率和无线远端射频单元(RRHs)波束成形向量的联合优化。上述优化问题属于非线性、分式规划问题，为了方便求解，首先将原优化问题转化为差分形式的优化问题，然后通过引入变量将差分形式的、非平滑优化问题转化为平滑优化问题。最终，提出一种双层迭代功率分配和波束成形算法。在仿真实验中，将该文算法与传统的非能效资源分配算法和能量效率最大化算法进行了比较，实验结果证明该文算法在改进C-RAN能量效率和提高资源分配公平性方面的有效性。Abstract: The resource allocation for Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) is investigated. The max-min fairness criterion is used as the optimization criterion and the Energy Efficiency (EE) of C-RAN users is taken as the optimization objective function, by maximizing the EE of the worst link under the constraints of maximum transmit power and minimum transmit rate, the user transmit power and Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) beamforming vectors are jointly optimized. The above optimization problem belongs to the nonlinear and fractional programming problem. First, the original nonconvex optimization problem is transformed into an equivalent optimization problem in subtractive form. Then, by introducing a new variable, non-smooth equivalent optimization problem is transformed into a smooth optimization problem. Finally, a two-layer iterative power allocation and beamforming algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm is compared with traditional non-EE resource allocation algorithm and EE maximization algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is effective in improving the EE and the fairness of resource allocation.
