Title
Matching Theory Assisted Resource Allocation in Millimeter Wave Ultra Dense Small Cell Networks
Abstract
This paper investigates the resource allocation in millimeter wave ultra dense networks, in which the beam assignment and sub-band allocation are jointly considered. Motivating to maximize the sum rate of the network conceived, the optimization problem is formulated as a mixed integer non-linear programing (MINLP) problem, which involves allocating the novel three-dimensional resource blocks (RBs) defined in beam (B), time (T), and frequency (F) dimension, respectively. To tackle the formulated MINLP problem, we propose the low-complexity resource allocation scheme, including the so-called best option first (BOF) beam assignment algorithm, and the many-to-one matching with externalities (M2O-ME) sub-band allocation algorithm. In particular, the BOF beam assignment algorithm is first carried out to coordinate the RBs in terms of T- and B-dimension. Then, with the aid of the mechanism of many-to-one with externalities, the M2O-ME sub-band algorithm is implemented to lind the optimal sub-band allocation (i.e. RB allocation in F-dimension) solution. Finally, our simulation results show that the proposed resource allocation scheme can significantly outperform the existing schemes in terms of sum rate of the networks. Therefore, we can conclude that the proposed resource allocation scheme can be considered as a promising candidate for practical ultra dense small-cell networks with mmWave capability.
