Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wireless communication technology, specifically a power allocation optimization method for URLLC (Ultra-Limited Wireless Access Network). Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of electronic information technology and computer networks in the 21st century, the demand for mobile broadband services with faster transmission rates and wider coverage has prompted academia and industry to continuously explore new ways to break through the limitations of existing standards. Massive MIMO is one of the key technologies of 5G, with its large-scale antenna arrays providing high beamforming gain and spatial multiplexing gain. However, with the increasing demands of emerging application scenarios such as autonomous driving, the Industrial Internet, and telemedicine, 5G systems can no longer meet the needs of rapidly developing wireless communication applications. Therefore, high hopes are placed on the performance indicators and new application solutions for 6G wireless communication systems. The IMT-2023 (6G) Promotion Group of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology proposed that 6G transmission technology indicators should reach peak rates in the Tbps range and system spectral efficiency in the Kbps / Hz range. This places high demands on the development of key technologies in the field of wireless communication and its deep integration with various industries.
[0003] Distributed massive MIMO (D-mMIMO) is one of the key technologies in wireless communication systems. When access points (APs) deployed in a system provide cooperative and consistent services to users, the cell boundary effect in traditional cellular networks is eliminated as the number of APs increases, forming a cellular-free mobile communication system. This significantly improves both network capacity and performance. Distributed transceiver schemes using cooperative transmission not only reduce the complexity of cellular-free MIMO systems but also enable the sustainable expansion of users and cooperating APs, forming Cell-Free Massive MIMO (CF-mMIMO) systems. CF-mMIMO improves spectral efficiency and enhances system robustness through a trade-off between diversity and multiplexing techniques, thus supporting Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) transmission. Implementation methods include fully centralized processing, dynamic cooperative processing, and fully distributed processing. Centralized processing can achieve optimal performance, but it is difficult to support large-scale scaling; dynamic collaborative processing can approach the system performance of centralized processing, but its requirements for signaling transmission and data link interaction are too stringent; fully distributed processing has low complexity and high scalability, but the number of access points required is far greater than the number of users, and the fronthaul overhead is large. Therefore, in the design and technical research of 6G cellular access network architecture, a trade-off between complexity and system performance needs to be considered. Summary of the Invention
