The integration of massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) enabled heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs) and Internet of Things (IoT) is a promising treatment for future networking paradigms. In such networks, the human-to-human (H2H) devices and IoT devices have some distinct service requirements. Specifically, the former mainly concentrates on downlink throughput, but the latter pays more attention to uplink power consumption. Based on this, we design a device association mechanism (scheme) to achieve a tradeoff between these two performance metrics under devices' association requirements. Through some appropriate adjustments of weighting parameters, different types of devices can improve their performance metrics of interest. At last, such a scheme is formulated as a network-wide logarithmic utility maximization problem in a nonlinear and combinatorial form. To solve it, we develop two types of association algorithms, whose primary difference lies in the treatment of weighting parameters. Then, we show the corresponding convergence and computation complexity analyses for them. Finally, we investigate the impacts of weighting parameters, the BS power and the number of antennas on some certain performance metrics of designed algorithms and other existing one. The simulation results show that the designed algorithms can meet different devices' association requirements by properly adjusting weighting parameters. |
