Abstract:
In this paper, we investigate the joint effect of optimizing power allocation and backhaul links flow assignment within the backhaul network on the energy efficiency (EE) of a millimeter wave backhaul heterogeneous network (HetNet). We consider enforcing a strict throughput demand on all user equipment(UEs), called joint EE, power, and flow control (JEEPF), versus allowing an acceptable range of demands for each, called joint EE, power, flow control, and throughput (JEEPFT). This little change causes a drastic difference in the formulations of both problems. JEEPF is convex while JEEPFT is quasiconvex, for which we propose a bisection method based approach. Our simulation results show the superiority of JEEPFT over JEEPF and other simple benchmark schemes.
