Abstract(in English) In mobile communications, densely deployed cell systems are expected to improve the system capacity drastically. However, many overlapping cells cause inter-cell interference (ICI), which can damage the improvement of the system capacity. As one of ICI coordination (ICIC) to compensate for the damage, base stations (BSs) control both transmit power and transmit beamforming. Since this kind of ICIC can be regarded as an optimization problem, a conventional scheme conducts exhaustive search (ES) in order to choose the optimal combination of transmit power levels and precoding matrices from a pre-defined codebook. However, ES requires a prohibitive amount of computational complexity that grows exponentially with the number of BSs, and thus can not be applied to a large scale system. To reduce the complexity, this report applies a convolutional neural network (CNN) into the ICIC. The reason for adopting CNN is that CNN requires a small amount of computational complexity for predicting optimal values, although its training process needs a large amount of complexity. Machine learning for CNN can be mainly classified into supervised and unsupervised learning. Since the supervised learning needs results of ES as the training sequence, it is very difficult to adopt the supervised learning in case of a large scale system. Therefore, this report proposes CNN employing unsupervised learning for the ICIC. Computer simulations under MIMO communications with 3 cells having 3-sector antennas clarify that the proposed scheme can improve the system capacity drastically while requiring a less amount of complexity.
