  1. Multicell MISO Downlink Weighted Sum-Rate Maximization: A Distributed Approach *P. C. Weeraddana **M. Codreanu, **M. Latva-Aho, ***A. Ephremides *KTH, Royal institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden **CWC, University of Oulu, Finland ***University of Maryland, USA 2013.02.19

  2. Motivation • Centralized RA requires gathering problem data at a central location -> huge overhead • Large-scale communication networks -> large-scale problems • Distributed solution methods are indeed desirable • Many local subproblems -> small problems • Coordination between subproblems -> light protocol CWC | Centre For Wireless Communications

  3. Motivation • WSRMax: a central component of many NW control and optimization methods, e.g., • Cross-layer control policies • NUM for wireless networks • MaxWeight link scheduling for wireless networks • power and rate control policies for wireless networks • achievable rate regions in wireless networks CWC | Centre For Wireless Communications

  4. Challenges 21.8.2014 CWC | Centre For Wireless Communications • WSRMax problem is nonconvex, in fact NP-hard • At least a suboptimal solution is desirable • Considering the most general wireless network (MANET) is indeed difficult • A particular case is infrastructure based wireless networks • Cellular networks • Coordinating entities • MS-BS, MS-MS, BS-BS • Coordination between subproblems -> light protocol 4

  5. Our contribution • Distributed algorithm for WSRMax for MISO interfering BC channel; BS-BS coordination required • Algorithm is based on primal decomposition methods and subgradient methods • Split the problem into subproblems and a master problem • local variables: Txbeamforming directions and power • global variables: out-of-cell interference power • Subproblems asynchronous (one for each BS) • variables: Txbeamforming directions and power • Master problem resolves out-of-cell interference (coupling) • P.
