- Description
- Long term evolution (LTE)-unlicensed, an extension of LTE Advanced to unlicensed spectrum, can provide high performance and seamless user experience. To reap the full benefits of the LTE-unlicensed deployment, efficient resource allocation and interference management are critical to ensuring a harmonious coexistence between LTE-unlicensed and WiFi systems. In this paper, we study a resource orchestration scheme for an LTE-unlicensed network where small cells share the same unlicensed spectrum with a WiFi system. An optimization problem for channel and power allocations is formulated to maximize the overall network utility, which is an NP-hard problem. The problem is constrained on meeting the desired data rate demands of the served small-cell users, the capacity-limited backhaul links, and the maximum tolerable interference at the WiFi access point. To solve this challenging problem, a distributed solution based on Lagrangian relaxation is proposed to assist the LTE-unlicensed network in making decisions on channel allocation and transmit power. Furthermore, low-complexity solutions are devised upon applying the one-To-one matching game theory. The simulation results with practical parameter settings show that the proposed algorithms converge to the suboptimal solution after a small number of iterations in the considered examples.
