Abstract:

In response to the increasing demand for mobile communication traffic, the user access point (AP) selection and downlink power control is used to improve the users experience of the cell-free (CF) massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system. Based on the maximum signal interference plus noise ratio, an effective subset of service APs is selected for each user. Based on the result of the AP selection, aiming at providing different quality-of-service (QoS) to users with different priorities, a long-term power constraint optimization model of downlink weighted power control is established. The problem is transformed into a convex optimization problem. By solving this problem, a set of optimized downlink power control coefficients is obtained. The algorithm is verified by simulation, which can increase the spectral efficiency of 95% users of the CF massive MIMO system by about 11 times. At the same time, it helps to effectively improve the experience of high-priority users. It has certain significance for the study of the CF massive MIMO system.
