Abstract(in English) In mobile communications, densely deployed small cell systems using the same frequency band are expected to increase the number of accessible users and to improve the system capacity. However, the gain in the system capacity can be damaged by inter-cell interference (ICI) within overlapping areas close to cell boundaries. Inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) is one of the promising techniques to solve this problem. As one of ICIC schemes, joint control of transmit power and transmit beamforming (BF) by the base station (BS) has been investigated. Since this ICIC can be considered a non-convex optimization problem, the exhaustive search (ES) method and approximate iterative methods have been applied. However, as the number of BSs and antennas increases, the computational complexity of the two approaches grows exponentially. Thus, machine learning based schemes have been proposed to reduce the computational complexity. In order to improve such schemes furthermore, this report proposes an unsupervised learning-based convolutional neural network (CNN) for the joint control of transmit power and transmit BF. Computer simulations for MIMO channels show that the proposed method can significantly improve the system capacity while reducing the execution time drastically.
