Joint Design of User Association and Power Allocation With Proportional Fairness in Massive MIMO HetNets

Although the massive MIMO enabled heterogeneous networks (HetNets) can intensify the spectral efficiency benefits, the proper user association and resource allocation are both crucial to achieve desirable performance since the power consumption of base station (BS) scales with the large number of an...
