Title
Joint power allocation and user assignment for licensed/unlicensed band users in massive MIMO cellular systems
Abstract
In this paper, we study the joint user assignment and power allocation for the defined utility function (central cell throughput) maximization in massive Multiple Input-Multiple Output (MIMO) cellular system coexistence with Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) network. Firstly, the power allocation of problem is formulated as a convex optimization. Unfortunately, the formulated problem has not a closed-form solution. For solving the mentioned problem, it is converted to three sub-problem based on the number of lemmas that are expressed. Due to two of these problems remain difficult to solve, this two sub-problem are relaxed. The Ellipsoid algorithm is an iterative algorithm that used for solving of the relaxed problems. In the following, joint user assignment and power allocation will be addressed, in which two approaches are proposed for solving. In the first approach, we propose an iterative algorithm that user assignment problem and power allocation problem are solved in each iteration. In the second approach, at first, users are assigned to licensed and unlicensed bands, then for the obtained arrangement, the power allocation problem is solved. The simulation results showed that the proposed algorithms are significantly close to the benchmark methods.
