Probability of resource block collisionNotationP(uj ↔ c) is the probability that a resource block isassigned to uj by c and is also assigned to some other UEby cell c.
I assume that the resource blocks are allocated uniformlyat random across the entire bandwidth. Hence:
P(uj ↔ c) =Proportion of bandwidth assigned to uj ×Proportion of bandwidth assigned by c
P(uj ↔ ci) = xj(A x)i

Interference
The unwanted signal generated by a cell ci which interfereswith the channel between uj and c is given by:
Intf(uj , ci) = Channel gain(uj , ci)× Prob. of collision
Then the total inference from other cells received by UE ujis the sum of the interferences.

SINR
NotationThe symbols � and � denote the Hadamard product anddivision respectively.
The signal to noise + interference vector is given by:
S(x) = Ψ� (x�PA x +σ2)

SINR to spectral efficiency
The spectral efficiency is the channel capacity per unitbandwidth.
UnitsSpectral efficiency has units b/s/Hz = b, which is acounting variable and hence dimensionless.
I denote function f : Rn → R to be the single spectralefficiency function. I then vectorise this into the functionF : Rn → Rn which I define to be:
F (S) = [f (S1), . . . , f (Sn)]T

Optimisation
I define the vector of data demands to be d. I seek thesolution to the fixed point problem:
x = d�F (Ψ� (x�PA x +σ2)) x ∈ (0,1]n
This can be written as a iterative method:
xt+1 = d�F (Ψ� (xt �PA xt +σ2))
Using this formula in conjunction with the trust regionmethod, I will refer to the autonomous simulation.

Existence of a solution
Parameters• f - sigmoid• σ2 = 0• k = PA x�Ψ
15/29
Existence of a solution
Consider the Shannon spectral efficiency, using bounds onlogarithms I define a sufficient condition for non-existence.
If ∃i ∈ Q such that:
di ln(2)(PA x)i > Ψi
Then there does not exist a solution.
16/29
Stability of a solution
Assuming a solution exists then I was able to prove that:• Such a point is asymptotically stable.• This point is unique.
This is for a solution that exists within the regionx ∈ (0,∞)n, meaning this physically has little meaninghowever if the model can be adapted to another systemthen it would be useful.
17/29
Other Bounds
There is a lower bound on the rate of convergence:
di ln(2)σ2 − 1 6 xi .
Through this a lower bound for existence of a solutionwithin the trust region [0,1]n can be derived.

Formulation 1: Newton’s method
We seek the root of the following equation using Wolfeconditions and a trust region:
G(x) = x�F (Ψ� (x�PA x +σ2))− d x ∈ (0,1]n
The Jacobian is given by:
JG(x)i,j :=
f (Si(x))− (PA x)i
(f ′(Si(x))

Formulation 2: Continuous approximate
Using an approximation, I am able express the problem interms of an autonomous ODE.
x = d�F (Ψ� (x�PA x +σ2))− x
This has no exact solution and hence I use Runge-Kuttamethods to solve this system.

Formulation 2: Continuous approximate
24/29
Formulation 3: Least squares error
I wish to minimise the proportion of bandwidth allocated tothe UEs such that the data demands are met.
x∗ = argmin(||x ||2) such that G(x∗)i > 0,x∗ ∈ [0,1]n, ∀i ∈ Q
If the Shannon spectral efficiency is being considered thenG(x) is a concave function and hence feasible region isconvex. Therefore this problem may be solved as a convexoptimisation problem.
25/29
Formulation 3: Least squares errorProblemThe least squares model makes the assumption that all ofthe data demands can be met, that is usually not the case.

Self-organising networks
Implementing a Newton method on clusters within thenetwork would be the best way to have the network be selforganising, due to the speed of convergence.Theinformation that would need to be shared.• Proportion of the bandwidth that each cell assigns to a
UE.• The positions of each cell (Fixed)• The positions of each UE (Dynamic)• The data demands of each UE.
