Massive MIMO Optimization with Compatible Sets

Fitzgerald, Emma LU orcid ; Pióro, Michał and Tufvesson, Fredrik LU orcid (2019) In IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications p.2794-2812
Abstract
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is expected to be a vital component in future 5G systems. As such, there is a need for new modeling in order to investigate the performance of massive MIMO not only at the physical layer but also higher up the networking stack. In this paper, we present general optimization models for massive MIMO, based on mixed-integer programming and compatible sets, with both maximum ratio combining and zero-forcing precoding schemes. We then apply our models to the case of joint device scheduling and power control for heterogeneous devices and traffic demands, in contrast to the existing power control schemes that consider only homogeneous users and saturated scenarios. Our results show that substantial... (More)
