Abstract
Weighted-sum energy efficiency (WSEE) is a key performance metric in heterogeneous networks, where the nodes may have different energy efficiency (EE) requirements. Nevertheless, WSEE maximization is a challenging problem due to its nonconvex sum-of-ratios form. Unlike previous work, this paper presents a systematic approach to WSEE maximization under not only power constraints, but also data rate constraints, using a general SINR expression. In particular, the original problem is transformed into an equivalent form, and then a sequential convex optimization (SCO) algorithm is proposed. This algorithm is theoretically guaranteed to converge for any initial feasible point, and, under suitable constraint qualifications, achieves a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) solution. Furthermore, we provide remarkable extensions to the proposed methodology, including systems with multiple resource blocks as…
