tailieunhanh - Cross-layer multi-user selection in 5G heterogeneous networks based on hybrid beamforming optimization for millimeter-waves

Lack of coordination between network layers limits the performance of most proposed solution for new challenges posed by wireless networks. To overcome such limitations, cross-layer physical and medium access (PHY-MAC) design for multi-input-multi-output orthogonal frequency division multiple access system in heterogeneous networks (HetNETs) is proposed. In this paper, we formulate an optimization problem for hybrid beamforming, in a multi-user HetNET scenario aiming to maximize the total system throughput. Furthermore, analog beamforming is selected from a codebook containing a limited number of candidates for steering vectors. The proposed problem is non-convex and hard to solve. Thus it is relaxed by transforming it into a subtraction form of two convex funcions. | Cross-layer multi-user selection in 5G heterogeneous networks based on hybrid beamforming optimization for millimeter-waves
