Power Allocation in Smart Grid Aided Cell Free Massive MIMO Systems for URLLC Applications

Abstract This paper investigates power allocation in cell-free massive MIMO for URLLC applications, where each access point is powered by smart grid or solar panels/wind-turbines. In particular, the closed-form achievable rate for URRLC is derived. By exploiting the derived results, a non-convex and non-smooth optimization problem is formulated for maximizing the minimum URRLC rate of all multicast group, and is NP-hard. To deal with this problem, the formulated optimization problem is transformed into a tractable version, then the classical CVX tool is adopted to solve the resultant problem. Numerical simulation verifies the practicability of the derived theoretical results and the proposed algorithm.
