Abstract
With the increasing data traffic in the fifth-generation (5G) communication system, the 5G new radio extended to unlicensed bands (5G NR-U) has become a promising approach to relieve the heavy pressure on the cellular system. To achieve the efficient coexistence with the WiFi system and improve the efficiency of temporal, spectral and spatial resource utilization, we first divide the transmission space into two subspaces by leveraging spatial reuse, where the data transmitted by cellular user equipments (UEs) falls into one subspace and the data transmitted by Internet of Things (IoT) devices coexisting with WiFi users through power control is in the other subspace. Then, the coexistence among cellular UEs, IoT devices, and WiFi users is formulated as an optimization model with the aim of maximizing the cellular system throughput via the joint power and subchannel allocation under the interference constraint. Although the resulting optimization problem is a mixed-integer nonlinear programmming, we decompose it into two subproblems and develop an alternating iterative approach to effectively solve them. Also, the closed-form allocations of the power and subchannels are obtained. Simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme can improve the cellular system performance and guarantee the coexistence in the unlicensed band.
