Abstract
SummaryAiming at further improving the energy efficiency of system while meeting the data rate requirement of the users, in this paper, a network energy efficiency optimization problem by jointly optimizing the resource allocation of macrocells and small cells is formulated and proven to be an NP‐hard problem, which cannot be worked out by direct methods in polynomial time. Considering the effectiveness of the modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) algorithm, an MPSO‐based resource allocation and cell association algorithm is employed to solve the proposed joint optimization problem where the frequency resource partitioning of the macrocells, the transmission power, and the cell‐association bias of the small cells are jointly optimized. During the implementation of the optimization algorithm, the cell association alters with the transmission power and cell‐association bias adjustment, and the small cells where there are no active users associating with them will be turned off. The data rate requirement of the users is an indispensable metric in the communication system. Taking no account of the data rate requirement of the users, the frequency resource partitioning and cell association alteration will deteriorate the data rate of a few of users. Under such circumstances, we take the users' data rate requirement as a constraint of the joint optimization problem. The system level simulation results show that, by jointly optimizing the resource allocation of macrocells and small cells while guaranteeing the users' data rate requirement, the energy efficiency and system throughput can be further improved, and energy consumption can be further reduced.
