Dynamic Scheduling and Power Control in Uplink Massive MIMO with Random Data Arrivals
Abstract
In this paper, we study the joint power control and scheduling in uplink massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with random data arrivals. The data is generated at each user according to an individual stochastic process. Using Lyapunov optimization techniques, we develop a dynamic scheduling algorithm (DSA), which decides at each time slot the amount of data to admit to the transmission queues and the transmission rates over the wireless channel. The proposed algorithm achieves nearly optimal performance on the long-term user throughput under various fairness policies. Simulation results show that the DSA can improve the time-average delay performance compared to the state-of-the-art power control schemes developed for Massive MIMO with infinite backlogs.
