    Large-scale multi-antenna systems can effectively improve data transmission reliability and throughput for smart grid. However, the massive number of antennas and radio frequency (RF) chains also result in high complexity and energy cost. In this paper, we develop a new performance benchmark named energy economic efficiency for measuring the time-average throughput per energy cost. Then, we investigate how to maximize long-term energy economic efficiency via the joint optimization of communication and energy resource allocation. The formulated joint optimization problem is NP-hard because it not only involves long-term nonlinear optimization objective and constraints, but also involves both integer and continuous optimization variables. Next, we propose an online joint antenna selection and power control algorithm by combining nonlinear fractional programming, Lyapunov optimization, and bisection method. The proposed algorithm can achieve bounded performance deviation from the optimum performance without requiring the prior knowledge of future channel state information (CSI), energy arrival, and electricity price. Finally, a comprehensive theoretical analysis is provided, and the proposed algorithm is verified through simulations under various system configurations.

    Two-timescale resource allocation for automated networks in IIoT
    (IEEE, 2022-04-04) He, Yanhua; Ren, Yun; Zhou, Zhenyu; Mumtaz, Shahid; Al-Rubaye, Saba; Tsourdos, Antonios; Dobre, Octavia A.
    The rapid technological advances of cellular technologies will revolutionize network automation in industrial internet of things (IIoT). In this paper, we investigate the two-timescale resource allocation problem in IIoT networks with hybrid energy supply, where temporal variations of energy harvesting (EH), electricity price, channel state, and data arrival exhibit different granularity. The formulated problem consists of energy management at a large timescale, as well as rate control, channel selection, and power allocation at a small timescale. To address this challenge, we develop an online solution to guarantee bounded performance deviation with only causal information. Specifically, Lyapunov optimization is leveraged to transform the long-term stochastic optimization problem into a series of short-term deterministic optimization problems. Then, a low-complexity rate control algorithm is developed based on alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), which accelerates the convergence speed via the decomposition-coordination approach. Next, the joint channel selection and power allocation problem is transformed into a one-to-many matching problem, and solved by the proposed price-based matching with quota restriction. Finally, the proposed algorithm is verified through simulations under various system configurations.
