Abstract
This paper studies the optimization problem of energy efficiency in multi-cell networks with multiple users such as 5G network. However, the spectrum allocation and inter-cell interference (ICI) in multi-cell networks are the important challenges. The Soft Frequency Reuse (SFR) scheme which manages the spectrum and reduces ICI is used to build SFR-cellular networks. We take the global energy efficiency of the SFR-cellular network as the objective function of the optimal problem to obtain the maximum energy efficiency. Unfortunately, the objective function is a non-concave function, which is significantly difficult to be solved directly. Therefore, we utilize the fractional program, successive convex approximation, Lagrange dual, and Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions to transform the objective function into a concave function. In such case, we could solve the problem with the convex optimization method. Finally, based on SFR, we propose a global energy efficiency optimization algorithm to search for the optimal energy efficiency of networks. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm holds the better performance.
