Alternating Direction Based Sequential Boolean Quadratic Programming Method for Transmit Antenna Selection

Abstract

The wireless mobile communication system is updated and iterated on the whole almost every decade. It is now in the development period of the application scenarios of the fifth generation mobile communication system (5G). Unfortunately, 5G relies on plenty of small base stations with a large number of antennas that consume a lot of energy. In this paper, a novel Boolean variable quadratic programming algorithm is designed for the antenna selection optimization problem to reduce power consumption. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm achieves high complementarity satisfaction accuracy with only a few steps.
