Intelligent Scheduling and Power Control for Multimedia Transmission in 5G CoMP Systems: A Dynamic Bargaining Game

Intelligent terminals support a large number of multimedia such as picture, audio, video, and so on. The coexistence of various multimedia makes it necessary to provide service for different requests. In this paper, we consider interference-aware coordinated multi-point (CoMP) to mitigate inter-cell interference and improve total throughput in the fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks. To select the scheduled edge users, cluster the cooperative base stations (BSs), and determine the transmitting power, a novel dynamic bargaining approach is proposed. Based on affinity propagation, we first select the users to be scheduled and the cooperative BSs serving them. Then, based on the Nash bargaining solution (NBS), we develop a power control scheme considering the transmission delay, which guarantees a generalized proportional fairness among users. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the user-centric scheduling and power control methods in 5G CoMP systems.
