Energy efficient joint user scheduling and transmit beamforming in downlink DAS

This paper studies the energy efficient joint user scheduling and transmit beamforming in the downlink of a single-cell distributed antenna system. Due to the distributed nature of antenna units, traditional power consumption model cannot be applied without the backhauling power taken into account. Therefore, under the constraints of the minimum rate requirement of each user and the transmit power budget of each distributed antenna unit, we...
