Abstract

Network-assisted full-duplex (NAFD) cell-free massive MIMO can greatly improve the spectral efficiency and reduce the unmet system capacity ratio (USCR) by simultaneous downlink and uplink transmission with massive access points (APs). As most existing works focus on the system throughput maximization while ignoring the user requirements. In this paper, we jointly study the dynamic power allocation under the constraint of USCR. An elite genetic algorithm for power allocation is proposed to solve the above problems. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the USCR of the cell-free massive MIMO while sufficiently meeting the user requirements.
