Description
Summary:In this paper, a cross-layer optimization problem of access point selection (APS) and beamforming (BF) in cell free network (CFN) has been studied, where constraints of per access point (AP) power and per user receiving data streams are considered. Such a cross-layer design of APS&BF problem is modeled as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINP) program. Then, by adopting the weighted l 1 -norm approximation, the MINP problem is transformed into the sum logarithmic multiple-ratio form. To be specific, a novel and low-complexity mix-integer fractional programming (MIFP) algorithm is proposed to solve the transformed problem effectively. Convergence analysis validates that the proposed MIFP converges to a local optimal solution. Finally, numerical results show that cross-layer design of APS&BF scheme is superior to separate design of APS&BF schemes. In addition, the proposed MIFP has the approximate performance as partial exhaustive search algorithm.
