Abstract
In this paper, resource allocation for energy efficient communication in multi-cell orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) downlink networks with cooperative base stations (BSs) is studied. The considered problem is formulated as a non-convex optimization problem which takes into account the circuit power consumption, the limited backhaul capacity, and the minimum required data rate for joint BS zero-forcing beamforming (ZFBF) transmission. By exploiting the properties of fractional programming, the considered non-convex optimization problem in fractional form is transformed into an equivalent optimization problem in subtractive form, which enables the derivation of an efficient iterative resource allocation algorithm. For each iteration, the optimal power allocation solution is derived with a low complexity suboptimal subcarrier allocation policy for maximization of the energy efficiency of data transmission (bit/Joule delivered to the users). Simulation results illustrate that the proposed iterative resource allocation algorithm converges in a small number of iterations, and unveil the trade-off between energy efficiency and network capacity. © 2012 IEEE.
