Popis: The optimal allocation of channels and power resources plays a crucial role in ensuring minimal interference, maximal data rates, and efficient energy utilisation. As a successful approach for tackling resource management problems in wireless networks, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have attracted a lot of attention. This article proposes a GNN-based algorithm to address the joint resource allocation problem in heterogeneous wireless networks. Concretely, we model the heterogeneous wireless network as a heterogeneous graph and then propose a graph neural network structure intending to allocate the available channels and transmit power to maximise the network throughput. Our proposed joint channel and power allocation graph neural network (JCPGNN) comprises a shared message computation layer and two task-specific layers, with a dedicated focus on channel and power allocation tasks, respectively. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves satisfactory performance but with higher computational efficiency compared to traditional optimisation algorithms.
