Optimal Pilot Symbols Ratio in terms of Spectrum and Energy Efficiency in Uplink CoMP Networks
In wireless networks, Spectrum Efficiency (SE) and Energy Efficiency (EE) can
be affected by the channel estimation that needs to be well designed in
practice. In this paper, considering channel estimation error and non-ideal
backhaul links, we optimize the pilot symbols ratio in terms of SE and EE in
uplink Coordinated Multi-point (CoMP) networks. Modeling the channel estimation
error, we formulate the SE and EE maximization problems by analyzing the system
capacity with imperfect channel estimation. The maximal system capacity in SE
optimization and the minimal transmit power in EE optimization, which both have
the closed-form expressions, are derived by some reasonable approximations to
reduce the complexity of solving complicated equations. Simulations are carried
out to validate the superiority of our scheme, verify the accuracy of our
approximation, and show the effect of pilot symbols ratio.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, 2017 IEEE 85th Vehicular Technology Conference

Energy-Efficient User Access Control and Resource Allocation in HCNs with Non-Ideal Circuitry
In this paper, we study the energy-efficient user access control (UAC) based
on resource allocation (RA) in heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs) with the
required downlink data rate under non-ideal power amplifiers (PAs) and circuit
power. It is proved that the energy consumption minimization is achieved when
the typical user accesses only one base station (BS), while the other BSs
remain in idle mode on the transmission resource allocated to this user. For
this purpose, we reformulate the original non-convex optimization problem into
a series of convex optimization problems where, in each case, the transmit
power and duration of the accessed BS are determined. Then, the BS with the
minimal energy consumption is selected for transmission. Considering the
approximate situation, it is showed that the optimal transmit duration of the
accessed BS can be estimated in closed form. The benefits of our proposed UAC
and RA schemes are validated using numerical simulations, which also
characterize the effect that non-ideal PAs have on the total energy consumption
of different transmission schemes.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, 2017 9th International Conference on Wireless

Quantifying Potential Energy Efficiency Gain in Green Cellular Wireless Networks
Conventional cellular wireless networks were designed with the purpose of
providing high throughput for the user and high capacity for the service
provider, without any provisions of energy efficiency. As a result, these
networks have an enormous Carbon footprint. In this paper, we describe the
sources of the inefficiencies in such networks. First we present results of the
studies on how much Carbon footprint such networks generate. We also discuss
how much more mobile traffic is expected to increase so that this Carbon
footprint will even increase tremendously more. We then discuss specific
sources of inefficiency and potential sources of improvement at the physical
layer as well as at higher layers of the communication protocol hierarchy. In
particular, considering that most of the energy inefficiency in cellular
wireless networks is at the base stations, we discuss multi-tier networks and
point to the potential of exploiting mobility patterns in order to use base
station energy judiciously. We then investigate potential methods to reduce
this inefficiency and quantify their individual contributions. By a
consideration of the combination of all potential gains, we conclude that an
improvement in energy consumption in cellular wireless networks by two orders
of magnitude, or even more, is possible.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1210.843
Coordinated Per-Antenna Power Minimization for Multicell Massive MIMO Systems with Low-Resolution Data Converters
A multicell-coordinated beamforming solution for massive multiple-input
multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is
presented when employing low-resolution data converters and per-antenna level
constraints. For a more realistic deployment, we aim to find the downlink (DL)
beamformer that minimizes the maximum power on transmit antenna array of each
basestation under received signal quality constraints while minimizing
per-antenna transmit power. We show that strong duality holds between the
primal DL formulation and its manageable Lagrangian dual problem which can be
interpreted as the virtual uplink (UL) problem with adjustable noise covariance
matrices. For a fixed set of noise covariance matrices, we claim that the
virtual UL solution is effectively used to compute the DL beamformer and noise
covariance matrices can be subsequently updated with an associated subgradient.
Our primary contributions are then (1) formulating the quantized DL OFDM
antenna power minimax problem and deriving its associated dual problem, (2)
showing strong duality and interpreting the dual as a virtual quantized UL OFDM
problem, and (3) developing an iterative minimax algorithm based on the dual
problem. Simulations validate the proposed algorithm in terms of the maximum
antenna transmit power and peak-to-average-power ratio.Comment: submitted for possible IEEE journal publicatio
