Abstract
The heterogeneous cloud radio access network (H-CRAN) is a promising paradigm which incorporates the cloud computing into heterogeneous networks (HetNets), thereby taking full advantage of cloud radio access networks (C-RANs) and HetNets. Characterizing the cooperative beamforming with fronthaul capacity and queue stability constraints is critical for multimedia applications to improving energy efficiency (EE) in H-CRANs. An energy-efficient optimization objective function with individual fronthaul capacity and inter-tier interference constraints is presented in this paper for queue-aware multimedia H-CRANs. To solve this non-convex objective function, a stochastic optimization problem is reformulated by introducing the general Lyapunov optimization framework. Under the Lyapunov framework, this optimization problem is equivalent to an optimal network-wide cooperative beamformer design…
