摘要:

移动数据流量的指数增长正在推动密集无线网络的部署,这不仅会带来沉重的回程负担,而且还会产生相当大的功耗。将缓存引入无线网络边缘是解决这些挑战的潜在且经济高效的解决方案。在本文中,我们将探讨的问题,最大限度地减少网络功耗的缓存使能的无线网络,包括基站(BS)和回程的功耗。我们的目标是开发有效的算法,统一自适应BS选择,回程内容分配和多播波束成形,同时考虑到用户的QoS要求和回程容量的限制。为了解决网络功率最小化问题的NP-困难性,我们首先提出了一个广义分层组稀疏波束形成(LGSBF)建模框架,这有助于揭示波束形成器中的分层稀疏结构。通过采用重新加权的$\left.\ell_{1}\right/\ell_{2}$ -范数技术,我们进一步开发了一个凸近似过程的LGSBF问题,其次是一个三阶段的迭代LGSBF框架,以诱导所需的稀疏结构的波束形成器。仿真结果验证了所提算法在降低网络功耗方面的有效性,并表明缓存在用户密度较高、回程链路功率效率较低的网络中发挥更大的作用。

英文摘要:

The exponential growth of mobile data traffic is driving the deployment of dense wireless networks, which will not only impose heavy backhaul burdens, but also generate considerable power consumption. Introducing caches to the wireless network edge is a potential and cost-effective solution to address these challenges. In this paper, we will investigate the problem of minimizing the network power consumption of cache-enabled wireless networks, consisting of the base station (BS) and backhaul power consumption. The objective is to develop efficient algorithms that unify adaptive BS selection, backhaul content assignment and multicast beamforming, while taking account of user QoS requirements and backhaul capacity limitations. To address the NP-hardness of the network power minimization problem, we first propose a generalized layered group sparse beamforming (LGSBF) modeling framework, which helps to reveal the layered sparsity structure in the beamformers. By adopting the reweighted $\left.\ell_{1}\right/\ell_{2}$-norm technique, we further develop a convex approximation procedure for the LGSBF problem, followed by a three-stage iterative LGSBF framework to induce the desired sparsity structure in the beamformers. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in reducing the network power consumption, and demonstrate that caching plays a more significant role in networks with higher user densities and less power-efficient backhaul links.
