Speaker : Luca SANGUINETTI University of Pisa Italy [TITLE] Large System Analysis of Base Station Cooperation for Power Minimization [ABSTRACT] This work focuses on a large-scale multi-cell multi-user MIMO system in which L base stations (BSs) of N antennas each communicate with K single-antenna user equipments. We consider the design of the linear precoder that minimizes the total power consumption while ensuring target user rates. Three configurations with different degrees of cooperation among BSs are considered: the coordinated beamforming scheme (only channel state information is shared among BSs), the coordinated multipoint MIMO processing technology or network MIMO (channel state and data cooperation), and a single cell beamforming scheme (only local channel state information is used for beamforming while channel state cooperation is needed for power allocation). The analysis is conducted assuming that N and K grow large with a non trivial ratio K N and imperfect channel state information (modeled by the generic Gauss-Markov formulation form) is available at the BSs. Tools of random matrix theory are used to compute, in explicit form, deterministic approximations for: (i) the parameters of the optimal precoder; (ii) the powers needed to ensure target rates; and (iii) the total transmit power. These results are instrumental to get further insight into the structure of the optimal precoders and also to reduce the implementation complexity in large-scale networks. Numerical results are used to validate the asymptotic analysis in the finite system regime and to make comparisons among the different configurations. [BIO] Luca Sanguinetti received the Laurea Telecommunications Engineer degree (cum laude) and the Ph.D. degree in information engineering from the University of Pisa, Italy, in 2002 and 2005, respectively. Since 2005 he has been with the Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell’Informazione of the University of Pisa. In 2004, he was a visiting Ph.D. student at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany. During the period June 2007 - June 2008, he was a postdoctoral associate in the Dept. Electrical Engineering at Princeton. During the period June 2010 - Sept. 2010, he was selected for a research assistantship at the Technische Universitat Munchen. From July 2013 to July 2015 he was with the Alcatel-Lucent Chair on Flexible Radio, Supelec, Gif-sur-Yvette, France. Dr. Sanguinetti is currently serving as an Associate Editor for the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS, IEEE SIGNAL PROCESSING LETTERS and IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS OF COMMUNICATIONS (series on Green Communications and Networking) and he serves as Lead Guest Editor of IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS OF COMMUNICATIONS 2016 Special Issue on ”Game Theory for Networks”. Dr. Sanguinetti served as Exhibit Chair of the 2014 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP) and as the general co-chair of the 2016 Tyrrhenian Workshop on 5G&Beyond. His expertise and general interests span the areas of communications and signal processing, game theory and random matrix theory for wireless communications. He was the co-recipient of two best paper awards: IEEE Wireless Commun. and Networking Conference (WCNC) 2013 and IEEE Wireless Commun. and Networking Conference (WCNC) 2014. He is also the recipient of the FP7 Marie Curie IEF 2013 “Dense deployments for green cellular networks”. Dr. Sanguinetti is an Senior IEEE Member.
