Distributed Joint Optimization of Beamforming and Power Allocation for Maximizing the Energy Efficiency of Cognitive Heterogeneous Networks

초록

This paper investigated an energy-efficient beamforming and power allocation strategy for cognitive heterogeneous networks with multiple-input-single-output interference channels. To maximize the sum energy efficiency of secondary users (SUs) while keeping the interference to primary networks under a predetermined threshold, I propose a distributed resource allocation algorithm using dual methods, in which each SU updates its beamforming vector and transmit power iteratively without any information sharing until convergence. The simulation results verify that the performance of the proposed scheme is comparable to that of the optimal scheme but with a much shorter computation time.
