We propose an optimization problem to minimize the base stations transmission powers in OFDMA heterogeneous networks, while respecting users' individual throughput demands. The decision variables are the users' working bandwidths, their association, and the base stations transmission powers. To deal with wireless channel uncertainty, the channel gains are treated as random variables respecting a log-normal distribution, leading to a non-convex chance constrained mixed-integer optimization problem, which is then formulated as a mixed-integer Robust Geometric Program. The efficacy of the proposed method is shown in a real-world scenario of a large European city.
