RadiOrchestra: Proactive Management of Millimeter-Wave Self-Backhauled Small Cells via Joint Optimization of Beamforming, User Association, Rate Selection, and Admission Control

Abstract

Millimeter-wave self-backhauled small cells are a key component of next-generation wireless networks. Their dense deployment will increase data rates, reduce latency, and enable efficient data transport between the access and backhaul networks, providing greater flexibility not previously possible with optical fiber. Despite their high potential, operating dense selfbackhauled networks optimally is an open challenge, particularly for radio resource management (RRM). This paper presents, RadiOrchestra, a holistic RRM framework that models and optimizes beamforming, rate selection as well as user association and admission control for self-backhauled networks. The framework is designed to account for practical challenges such as hardware limitations of base stations (e.g., computational capacity, discrete rates), the need for adaptability of backhaul links, and the presence of interference. Our framework is formulated as a nonconvex mixed-integer nonlinear program, which is challenging to solve. To approach this problem, we propose three algorithms that provide a trade-off between complexity and optimality. Furthermore, we derive upper and lower bounds to characterize the performance limits of the system. We evaluate the developed strategies in various scenarios, showing the feasibility of deploying practical self-backhauling in future networks.

Safehaul: Risk-Averse Learning for Reliable mmWave Self-Backhauling in 6G Networks

“…Prior work. Methodologically, the majority of the existing works [3]- [11] focus on classic optimization techniques to solve the above-mentioned problem. However, given the large number of parameters involved, such formulations often result in (non-)convex problems that are too complex for real-time operations.…”

Performance Analysis and Research of Knowledge Sharing System for Power Grid Networks

“…Knowledge sharing is a critical aspect of machine learning and knowledge management [1][2][3][4]. Many researchers have studied the factors that affect knowledge sharing and the benefits that it can bring to information technology [5][6][7][8]. Researchers have also identified several factors that affect knowledge sharing in systems, which include trust, communication, incentives, leadership, culture, and technology.…”
