QoS-Aware Resource Allocation for Mobile Edge Networks: User Association, Precoding and Power Allocation

Mobile edge computing (MEC) can provide computing and storage services to user equipments (UEs) by utilizing edge nodes known as the small base stations (SBS's) deployed at the edge of the network. The short-distance transmission nature between SBS's and UEs makes the millimeter-wave (mmWa...

Shrnutí:Mobile edge computing (MEC) can provide computing and storage services to user equipments (UEs) by utilizing edge nodes known as the small base stations (SBS's) deployed at the edge of the network. The short-distance transmission nature between SBS's and UEs makes the millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication empowered with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) hybrid precoding techniques particularly attractive for MEC. In this work, we consider the UE-SBS association, precoding design and power allocation for MEC networks endowed with mmWave MIMO. More specifically, the user association problem is first formulated as a max-k-cut (M <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">k</tex-math></inline-formula> C) problem and then, solved by a distributed local-search algorithm. Next, the joint optimization of precoding and power allocation is cast into the difference of two convex functions (D.C.) programming framework before an iterative rank-constrained D.C. programming algorithm is developed to maximize the weighted sum-rate (WSR) of all UEs while taking into account the quality of service (QoS) requirement of each UE. Furthermore, the monotonic convergence of the proposed iterative algorithm is analytically proven. Finally, extensive computer simulation is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed iterative algorithm.
