摘要:

This paper investigates the power allocation issues for joint transmission in heterogeneous network (HetNet), which is characterized by severe cross-tier interference. The optimization problem of maximizing the HetNet throughput is formulated. The original problem turns out to be a non-convex problem, the global optima of which cannot be obtained by conventional optimization methods. This paper develops a novel method to achieve the global optima by turning the original problem into quasi-convex problem. In addition, this paper considers a constant power allocation scheme, as a tradeoff between the system throughput and computational complexity. Based on duality gap theory, the bound of constant power allocation scheme is mathematically derived. Numerical results under different system parameters indicate that both the proposed schemes outperform conventional interference coordination schemes.
