Robust URLLC Packet Scheduling of OFDM Systems
share
In this paper, we consider the power minimization problem of joint physical resource block (PRB) assignment and transmit power allocation under specified delay and reliability requirements for ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) in downlink cellular orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA) system. To be more practical, only the imperfect channel state information (CSI) is assumed to be available at the base station (BS). The formulated problem is a combinatorial and mixed-integer nonconvex problem and is difficult to tackle. Through techniques of slack variables introduction, the first-order Taylor approximation and reweighted ℓ_1-norm, we approximate it by a convex problem and the successive convex approximation (SCA) based iterative algorithm is proposed to yield sub-optimal solutions. Numerical results provide some insights into the impact of channel estimation error, user number, the allowable maximum delay and packet error probability on the required system sum power.
