Joint Optimization for Optimal Power Allocation in OFDMA Femtocell Networks

摘要

This letter is concerned with the optimal power allocation in femtocell networks using a new technique based on multiobjective optimization. In this letter, we consider a cochannel framework for the coexistence of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)-based macrocell and femtocell networks. We jointly maximize the total rate of OFDMA femtocell network and minimize the total transmit power of femtocell base stations while satisfying a target constraint on transmit power when either the cross femtocell interference is included or excluded. Additionally, the results show that the proposed method for power transmission contributes toward improving the energy efficiency of femtocell networks.
