Title
Uplink Low Power Based Radio Resource Management in Wireless Heterogeneous Networks
Abstract
Due to the rapid rise of energy consumption and limited battery power of wireless user equipment (UE), low power communication becomes very important. Heterogeneous network deployment can significantly reduce regional power consumption. For heterogeneous network scenarios, this paper proposes an uplink low-power resource allocation scheme considering battery power limitation and user QoS requirements. Based on the assumption that each user has access to at most one base station (BS), the scheme is modeled as a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem. Since each user has access to one BS at most, the transmitting power matrix from the UE to the BSs (UE-to-BS matrix) is a sparse matrix. The MINLP problem can be transformed into an optimization problem searching sparse solution. In this paper, the reweighted L1 norm is introduced as a penalty function to remove the integer constraint and to regulate the sparsity of the UE-to-BS transmitting power matrix. In order to obtain the optimal resource allocation scheme, a reweighted L1 norm penalty based radio resource management (RRM) algorithm is proposed. Simulation results show that the reweighted L1 norm penalty based RRM algorithm has good convergence performance and the results are very close to optimal solutions. The proposed resource management scheme can prolong the working time of low-energy users and guarantee the QoS requirements of UE in the system.
