Resource Allocation and Impact Analysis of the System Parameters on Performance in Multi-Cell Massive MIMO Networks
Abstract This paper investigates the energy-efficient resource allocation algorithm for a massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system, in which each base station adapts the number of antennas to the daily load profile. Our paper examines the effect of two user location distribution (ULD) models, on the energy-efficiency (EE) of load adaptive masive MIMO system. We propose a resource allocation strategy to adapt the number of antennas based on tracking variations of ULD and cell loading maximizing the EE. We also evaluate impact of cell size, available bandwidth and output power level of the BS on EE at different cell loading.
