Resource Scheduling and Energy Cooperation in HetNet with Cross-Layer Interference Constraints

الملخص EN

Facing more and more severe global warming problems, renewable energy, as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels, is attracting more and more attentions due to its capability of reducing carbon emission.

This paper considers two-tier HetNets with orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), where the macro base station (MBS) is powered by power grid and small base stations (SBSs) have hybrid energy supplies.

Through smart grid, SBSs can share their renewable energy with each other.

We consider the problem of cross-layer interference caused by spectrum reuse, the burst of user data, and the randomness of renewable energy arrivals.

Through energy cooperation, this paper investigates maximizing the time-average energy efficiency of SBSs.

Based on user data queue and SBS energy queue, the optimal problem is decoupled into two subproblems by Lyapunov optimization: resource allocation subproblem and energy scheduling and energy cooperation subproblem.

By solving two subproblems, the online solution to the optimization problem is obtained.

Through theoretical analysis and simulations, both user data queues and energy queues have an upper bound, the network is stable, and the proposed algorithm performs better than the basic algorithm without energy cooperation.
